    Nice. I struggled with similar poor fit with my 34. Where did you source the side curtain pocket?

    Once painted, unfortunately no one will realize the skill that went into the car to make it look so perfect; great job, thanks for sharing.

    What a transformation, as usual! Hard to imagine that someone could do that bad of work on the initial build. You saved it!

    Sad that someone thought that their work was acceptable to p*** off to a paying customer! I wouldn't accept that for my car either.
    Great work! I appreciate your attention to detail and the skills you have to do it.
