Coming along nicely Tony!
Where you have the trim positioned is where it should sit. Flush to just slightly proud of the body. The build tolerances weren’t that exacting back then.

Thank you D.

Yes I'm getting familiar 😆 with these really sloppy tolerances.

usually it's sloppy seconds, now you're saying it's loose when new and tightened up after your work?

It's been about 6 days since I finished blocking roof, quarter panels and drivers door. Since then I've gotten passenger door done and installed.
My question is would you re scuff everything? I've read about hi build sealing itself up after awhile. Just don't want any issues. It's all blocked in 320 now. And I will lay 2 or 3 more coats of primer and hopefully it'll be done.

I've heard of this and outside of an epoxy application i'm yet to see it pop up on a T-sheet.a weeks nothing,especially inside.if it sat outside all summer long or extended periods of time then i'd wave a scuff pad @it for a piece of mind as they have a tendency to develop a sheen believe it or not.again i've never seen it in writing so i don't have anything to back it up.

Took the advice and cleaned her up and tacked twice. Have a new primer gun with a 2.3 tip. I used a little more than half a gallon of hi build with zero reducer and it laid down very nicely. I did get a few small runs but not guns fault.
