Thanks! Just a self trained hobbyist so I might not always do things the best way but proud to show how I do do things.

Thank you! I'm really anal about gaps. When I go to car shows, I'd rather see a car with really nice panel gaps and levels with a some paint flaws than a car with poor gaps and a 100% perfect paint job. I don't know why but when I see something on a car like a bad gap or level, my eyes kind of stick there and won't move. A cockeyed emblem will do that to me too. A paint flaw doesn't do that to me. All restored cars that are driven some will get paint flaws over time but good gaps and levels will stay the same.
