looking great. Panel gaps and alignment is time consuming and tedious work and most important in the final out come. I have not searched back and read the whole blog so not sure how much was disassembled ie frame on or off etc. Just be sure on a frame on approach- study the vertical gaps door to body and trailing edge of frt fender to leading edge of frt door. I have found many a tight gap at the bottom and a larger gap near the top. It seems the rad core support isolators seem to crush, sag more. Dont be afraid to shim up the whole frt clip to restore all orig gaps and alignment. keep up the good fight and happy holidays to all!
