Default gappin' is easy

granted I'm not going for show car gapping. but it won't be far from it. I just didn't want the factory gaps of this era where it varied from top to bottom with some being large gaps on these cars.

but with my project here, with new repop fenders/quarters/door skins and basically building the car it absolutely required gap and mis-match work.

but I am really impressed with all my repop panels. especially the front clip, shimmed up and the fit was great.

getting close..........also a very thin smoothing coat of micro fiberglass filler over the edges will finish it off. not a building edge fill, just smoothing. don't wanna ever build edges with filler.

found this weld-aid spray at my gas supply shop. works great keeping the nozzle clean.

enjoyed this learning curve on the doors. the planishing, slowing down, air cooling, I'm using a much better process now and the results are so much better.
