Thanks, I'll start with just the rubber pad under the cowl and try the hood for fit then work my way towards the back, thanks for the tips.

Thanks, more great news with reproduction parts to deal with LOL! how many shims do you generally start with at the cowl?

I have a 28 Phaeton, I'm now at the point of putting the body onto the frame, not sure of the process with shimming the body blocks to get everything lined up, I had started at the rear and had all doors opening and closing nicely, then the cowl had to be shimmed up to align the hood and that is...
