Al, take alot of time and effort on the doors. I've seen too many ill fitting doors on Cobras, which have either drooped or simply do not fit perfect (especially the driver's door).

I'll agree with you there Peter. I don't think I could've got the door fit better than I have at the moment. I still haven't sanded back the outside of the doors where I've extended the skin (so I'll lose a mm there especially on the body infront of the top of the door) and when the gaps are at 5mm, any variences with the sill will be harder to pick up, plus my choice of paint is a medium dark metalic grey. That said I still want the most perfect fitting doors that I can do so I will be using filler where necessary.

I've seen some cobras with aweful fitting doors Patience is something that I've got alot of. I've been taking my time with this build. Rather than just jumping into something, doing it incorrectly and then doing it again, so far I haven't needed to repeat anything. I ask people lots of questions, stew on the answers and then work out what will work for me.

Cheers
