This OCD is going to kill me. would you leave it?

Is it just me or does the flat spot on the cab behind the gas filler bother you ? Years ago I was doing bodywork and I noticed it on another truck the drivers side cab has a flat spot where the pass side has more of compound curve. Sense the other truck was a work/daily driver I slapped some mud, smoothed it out and painted .It looked good but not great. So here I am again same thing different truck. Its close but my OCD is telling me its not going to cut it. So I ask you would you leave it or give it some move love ?

I meant to write more love.... The gas filler spot is good, it just has a shadow that makes it look like its flat in the pic. the area I'm talking about is on the back of the cab.

Re: This OCD is going to kill me. would you leave it?

it won't bother anyone else, even if they notice it. it WILL bother you as long as you have it.

now's a good time to fix, but I'd suggest stripping out that filler and working the metal first to get it close. depends a lot on how you filled the gas filler hole.

Thanks guys your right I need to fix it. I welded a up the gas filler hole and did a nice job but there was a high spot on the back side of it .I tried to dolly it out but my thinnest dolly would not fit all the way back where it was,so I thought I'll just flow the mud around it . I'm going to grind out the mud and hammer out that high spot. If I don't do it now I'll kick myself later .

Lol Thank you, but that's my door latch. It is pretty kustom tho I converted the stock latch to a cable pull, that opens the bear claws .
