OK, rusty & damaged rear wing on my GT6 Mk3 removed, flanges cleaned up 
nicely. Only a bit of rust through on the inner panels at the usual spots 
right in front and behind the wheel arch at the bottom corners, which needs 
simple flat patches to repair. When I slide my replacement rear wing into 
place it "almost fits". It appears to be about 1/4 inch shorter between the 
door and wheel arch and same from the top flange to the top of the wheel 
arch. Any comments from those of you with more experience than me at panel 
replacement (i.e anyone who has actually done this ;-). Do I dolly and 
hammer the inner panel to make the new one fit, beat up the new panel to 
match the existing one, search on e-bay for Churchill tool #1637984 panel 
streatcher??

thanks
Scott
