Wes, this reminds me of a story I read about the time the great original
Dr. Porsche was trying to set up his post-war sports car company, and
his worker-bees had laboriously fashioned the first prototype body for
the proposed 356 model, all hand metal-working.  The Professor looked it
over very carefully, front, back and sides, and told the foreman, "Take
it back and work on it some more.  It's not symmetrical side to side."
I often think about that when I look at production vehicle bodies now.
We do expect that.  Bill
