Door Gap ?

O.K. guys how wide are you making your door gaps before any paint at all is on them? I want to do mine only once and would hate to have to adjust after paint.
Thanks.
Kim

Be patient. It can take days some times to get it right.

Once you master it then you can come by and do mine!
Oh, and we can all have Kabwe do the pancake hood for us while we're at it.

But seriously, I need to get my doors right also, that's my next task after the hood and Hydroboost.
