I'm done with the fender to valance fitment. Still need to address the fender to fender extension where there's an inconsistant gap (both sides of the car). I also have modded the center valance support as well, so now everything bolts up nicely with no real pressure...that alone was a huge improvement!

I know for the pro's this isn't a big deal...but for your average drywall guy I feel good about the results! :cheers:


You should be proud!

Nice work buddy! I'm glad you're getting lots of practice with sheet metal. My car needs tons of work, come on up any time! ;)

I had another post here and then went back and read through the whole thread. I feel so bad that after all that time and how many times you have gone through this there were things that needed that sort of attention. You are a better man than I.
