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!

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!

Looking good Tony, but I thought the car was painted?? Did it not come out as nice as you wanted it to? Keep at it it will all come together.

Should we think of this as practice for yours?

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.
