It's only hours and sweat to get it perfect with very little expense but you will always know that you did a shortcut and it isn't as perfect as you could get it if you don't finish it off the best you can get it. And where a stock firewall can have an imperfection or two and look good one that has been smoothed will have it's flaws stick out like a sore thumb and wave that thumb at anyone who looks under the hood.

30 years after I redid my truck and painted it the red that it currently is in the avatar I still remember where every flaw from taking a short cut was/is.
