I know everyone says 60s cars didn't fit together too good from the factory, but are there actual specs for the gaps?
I'm putting my 65 Mustang together for hopefully the final time before blowing it apart for paint and it looks ok with the door gaps front and rear about a paint stick 4-5 mm, but I need a little extra at the back of the hood (5.5-6 mm) to keep the headlight buckets even with the front of the hood. I suppose I could move the doors forward 1/2 a mm and then the fenders a full mm adding 1/2 a mm to both those gaps and cut the hood gap back to 4.5 to 5.5, or maybe I should just weld a rod across the back of the hood?
