Thanks.  I'm probably taking longer than it should on the gaps and hood/trunk/door fitting, but I'm a novice,  and would rather take time and not make mistakes.   

The work is starting to pay off

So happy to he getting back to work on this car. Between health scares, family priorities,  and distractions, I lost motivation.  But it is back.

Oh how I love the dust that bodywork causes.  😕

Well, after getting distracted by other projects, project issues, and family/life challenges, I am finally to the bodywork stage.  I'm taking the chassis (basically complete) to a tuner in December to get the EFI ironed out, so this is where we are.

Body fitment.  Finally getting that awful trunk lid to fit.

I feel your pain. My trunk lid was awful too, it took the most time by far.
Check your doors too, mine were sunken in through the middle area pretty bad.

Assuming I didn't miss something,  which, let's face it,  is possible,  it is ready for 400 grit wet sanding.
