On every project that comes through our facility we refine the gaps to the best of our ability. The goal is to have the body fitted to 3/16 gaps. Depending on what the car will allow based on the factory hinges and catches we will push, pull, cut, slice and weld to achieve the results. Watch what it takes to make it happen.
