Perfect Panels are Hard to Achieve

[inline6]

I'm trying to achieve nearly "perfect panels" on the 240z I am restoring.  I had many months where I couldn't move forward because the hardware was off to be plated.  Recently, I received the fender bolts, washers, etc.  So, I have mounted the fenders.  I used close cell foam in the locations that the factory used foam strips on the inner fender support and backside of the fender.  Interestingly, this weather stripping caused the flat expanse of the fender behind the front wheel wheel to bow out slightly. 

Something I have learned with these cars is that the sheet metal "moves" in various areas, either from foam supports behind, or from tightening down the fasteners.  I absolutely do not recommend doing bodywork on the fenders or cowl panel while off the car.
