Decided to close up the door gap. Still needs to be sanded and worked quite a bit obviously. Sorry I didn't take a before pic, but other C3 owners will be able to appreciate this.

That's like a 50% reduction in reveal? I think consistency of the gap is where the real refinement comes in, same as in finish carpentry. You did check it for opening and closing . . right?

Just a thought. Did you check the body bushings? They can cause a gap. Just a thought. I'd hate to see you do all this work and then put new bushings in and then have to grind all of it off.

Body bushings look fine and I don't intend to change them out.

The work isn't nearly done, I just slapped filler on. And yes I did open and close the door before I let it dry.

I figured you open/closed the door. I always thought you were one of the smarter ones around here. Just had a thought about the bushings. Just covering your back.

Forgot to fill over this area (drivers side rear quarter). Burned through a lot of the primer, but I need to spray epoxy over a bunch of areas anyways.



Low spots on the door. The doors were actually pretty damn straight. I was surprised, the DA didn't do all that much harm to the body.



You can see the low spots close to the center of the hood. These block out, no need for filler. The Slick Sand is so thick it takes a lot to burn through it.



You can see the X sanding pattern here. Also some more low spots on the door. I had to glaze over these.
