[QUOTE="jbrown1238, post: 13714906, member: 56552"] The passenger side has been a real pain in the aXX. Other than a lot of rain, this is what has been slowing me down. [ATTACH=full]529226[/ATTACH] Trying to get the body lines on the passenger side to be perfect has taken more time than expected. The rear of the door and the cab panels line up fairly well but both roll off the edge slightly because of how the metal panels were stamped from the factory. This plays havoc with my “fit and finish”. After blocking and priming the area several times I still have a very slight low spot in two places. Although it doesn’t seem to be bad this is the sort of thing that will create a distorted line in the reflection of the paint. The panels need to be perfectly flush with one another in order to cast a clean reflection in the finished product. [ATTACH=full]529227[/ATTACH] As you can see there is a small gap where the panels come together in this location. I will need to take a step back and add a very small amount of fill in these two spots to get it correct. [ATTACH=full]529228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529229[/ATTACH] The extra time it will take will be worth it once the paint is color sanded and buffed out. The goal is to have the side of the truck look like it was cut from a single piece of billet on a CNC machine!! (Just joking, but you guys get the idea). Here are two examples.
