I have found that if you put a little rake in the body that helps too. I cut the body out on hte cap line then test fit over teh body and mark with a sharpie when I think and it looks like the body is centered. then I cout the holes out for the posts then use a sharpie to mark my first trim line. then cut on that trime line. and repeat the process till you think you have it where you want it. sounds long but it takes a short abmount of time and I have had great results with this process. the only thing I really stick is cutting the front on the foam trim line then followed by the sharpie process.

I have a PF Toyota on my Lipo Hangman no problem. When mounting it line the center window strap with the center post hole in the front, in the rear line the center rear window strap with the centered T-plate screw hole ( the one closest to the right side of the chassis ) in the rear of the chassis this will put the left side of the body right up against the chassis and keep the body center line on the chassis center line.
