We're trying to do our body work as we go along on our Legacy construction. I noticed that your gaps and seams look perfect -- I mean perfect -- they even seem to have a nice 45 deg bevel on the edges. What pre-primer/paint gaps did you work to and how did you get that perfect bevel on the edges? Any other useful suggestions, opinions for first time builders? I'm sending this through the LML since I'm sure everyone would like to hear your secrets... Thanks in advance for your advice, Valin Thorn Legacy #173
