> Dwayne,
I agree with Bob on this, I to have in the last
few month's put the doors back on. All my body
panels match to the lines where they need to be.
It appears that either the stamping-s over time
got a little out of alignment or weren't that
good to begin with.
I finally settled on having all my horizonals
match and left the verticals have the odd gaps.
