Thomas posted what I was thinking about.   On the main drawing page there's several versions of this car with various modifications.  If you combine all the drawings you get all or most of the original window placement.

I have bags upon bags of the underbody parts. If you need some  PM me an address and I'll send them as quickly as I can. I will need to look for them.

Sorry about that.  Pushed the wrong key the first time.

Why didn't you just edit the original post using the correct code for your image instead of leaving that unreadable stuff in the thread?

[Bob Bufkin]

Because I forgot you could do that.

So that everyone has a complete set, here is an additional page that was included in the old Des Plaines kits that featured M&R sides and ALM core kits.  Note that it shows the use of the "interior bulkhead" that is included on the M&R fret.  As it turns out, these are actually a few mils less width than the ALM car end, fit the inside surface of the end, and give perfect spacing to fit the car side to the end, and provide a channel of sorts for epoxy or other adhesive, and provide a very strong corner joint- and also aid in supporting the floor.
