-or did you find, like me, you had to use line-up tools, smaller-diameter bolts, enlarge holes, and otherwise tug and struggle to attach fenders, running boards, splash aprons, etc., regardless if the parts were repro or original?

It makes me concerned about what kind of tension the restored bodies end up in, and whether that leads to other issues. or maybe you guys feel the bodies were originally awkward to fit together....
