Man, you have had some challenges lining up panels on this car! Good work, way to stick with it.

Thanks guys, definitely been a battle but I'm getting there.

I'm doing panel gaps now, the left side was bad, guess it got munched in some accident.

I wasn't sure how best to tackle this. I ended up cutting the curved tab off and making a new piece out of ten gauge going down about 3" or so to close the gap and move the tab forward.
