How much of a chore was it to get everything to match up?
Almost ready for paint?

A lot of work if you want the panels to fit better than factory, cos they were not that well built, we even lowered the head light chrome trims so they would fit better on the molding running on top of the guard which means adding glass on the bottom and taking some off the top to get an original look. the rh front guard was cut on top and moved closer to the bonnet to close the gap and re moulded in glass then made thicker form underneath so the top part of the guard that meets the bonnet was ground down to match the hight of the bonnet fitted, a lot of other bits and peices but think its all worth the effort.:bash
