Continuing with my previous question regarding painting body on/off chassis, I am trying to "dry-fit" to get the gaps as good as I can. Now, this is a Triumph Spitfire - they were not known for their attention to detail and quality so I don't expect the gaps to be perfect, but I'm pulling my hair out because I've never done it before and lack the experience in knowing "if I move this, it will move over there". Can anyone offer a good website or YouTube video that gives tips for getting this stuff set properly. The doors will probably eventually come around, but the bonnet (like a Jag E-Type) is just crazy - large piece of metal not well supported so it flexes like crazy. I think I have it right, then make one final adjustment, thinking it's unrelated to the area I just got right, only to find out I was wrong.
Venting a bit, so I apologize. This is my first attempt at doing any of this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and if how many scratches I've put in the primer is any indication, I'm beyond happy that I decided to do this before I did final paint!!
Thanks, everyone!
