This is the norm. I've worked on cars from 1903 to present. Fitting is always an important step when the metal work is finished and the filling and prepping begins. I always try to get the best alignment I can and then one bolt at a time, remove a bolt, use a die grinder to open the hole up to the original shape and replace the bolt. This takes time at this step but saves the paintwork when your done. If your really trying to do a really good job, once your parts are ready for paint assemble the car again to make sure that from the sanding and moving the parts they haven't changed shape. It's strange how by sanding out a fender it will change shape. Been there,scratched my head, asked why?
