And to add to that....

How do you 'choose' where to add material? Like in the last group of images where you were dialing in the gaps for the front of the fenders to the center grille. Are you tweaking the fenders because they're likely the issue (aftermarket consistency quality) or is the choice of where to tweak/add material more aligned w/whatever works best (or easiest) to yield the desired gap?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
