I don't think he's really worked em at all yet. He just has them fully tacked in.

I didnt do any dolly work, the curves were good on mine. I trimmed the edges and tacked away. What's not lining up for you?

No, If I lined up the curve on the bottom then it was 1/4" short on the edge that lines up with the tailgate. If I lined it up with the tailgate then the radius was sucked in 3/16 and and the whole filler was tilted not allowing the bodyline to match up at all...It almost like the stamp was off. I had to re-radius the bottom edge about 3/4" infront of where the radius actually started on the filler. After I tack it in I have to pull the back out to match the tailgate since there is no contour to the filler. I will try to tak a pic of the passengerside befor I work the metal out.
The pic above is with the rough hammering done....
I was just kidding about being pissed, but someone that has no metal exp would shurly have issues with this.
