I know, no pics, it didn't happen. This is as close as I can get right now.
Mark Dougherty brought it to the house this weekend. Great guy, very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions I had. I can't wait to get started.

Started on the firewall and both sides suck. Looks like to drivers side is radiused to much and the passenger side not enough. Wow, didn't think it was that bad.

Yep,

Before you cut the firewall, level the body at the cowl and the rear deck and see what that does for the fit. Shim under the body at the door sill area if needed. I'm suggesting you do this just to see what it does. How you actually mount the body id up to you. Just might give you a different perspective of the fit but yes, there isn't much symmetrical on the body. Grill and hood will be the same way.

The bad news is, now you know. The good news is that the average person won't notice when the car is done .......
