Talking I'm not going to get upset !

guy's is or has anyone else had trouble getting the line's and gap's clean on these truck's or am I beating a dead horse ?
let me explain , my truck has repro rocker panel's , partial cab corner's , and a repro tailgate , the rest of the truck is original sheetmetal to this truck , with the exception of the tailgate it is all the original part's that I am having trouble with !!
I am used to working on 1967 1968 1969 camaros and you want the gap's and line's good on those also but this truck is driving me crazy !!
#1 the door's won't line up at the cab rocker and fender area's
#2 the grill did not want to align with the fender's
#3 put the hood on (ORIGINAL HOOD FOR THIS TRUCK) and it is impossible to align it and get a even gap all the way around ,

the door's I have already fixed by cutting away at the tight space's and adding metal to the wider gap's , on the hood I am going to have to weld metal onto the front corner's right hand one especially to get the gap right !!!

this is eating up a lot of time , I'm not gonna get upset ! I'm not gonna get upset !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let's then talk about blocking all this stuff out !!! this stuff is ALL wavy every part , and another thing this truck has never been painted before I have it all stripped and it's never had any work at all this will be it's first paintjob , I'll take some more pic's later ,,,

ok I'm done .
