Agreed about the panel gaps. I had considered those but didn't want to over explain my first description.
The door is the only panel that will be skinned over rather than remade. For this a single layer of fabric can be used to wrap over the edges so the gap will only shrink my less than 1mm. The front and rear wings can be formed with bigger gaps than I end up wanting so the end result should still be good gaps.
I am actually thinking of making moulds/profiles based on the existing panels but just for the first few inches so that the contours match exactly when they join the door. I will then use these to ensure that the former I build will be the same as the doors. This further complicates the issue with panel thickness but I am sure I will work it out.
still need to sell two of the current cars and both are convertibles so probably spring before I can actually start anything. At least bad winter weather should provide a few more Cat N donor cars :-)
