Reply to "Project Pain(t) begins"

Today I aligned the 4 add ons. Doors were easier than expected. Rear lid involved some welding because a thread on the lid starting turning. Front lid was a bit high on rear corners, so I stood up, feet in the cabin, body though windshield hole, wooden block under the middle part, and pushed down on the corners. Just a bit, did the trick. I wonder how the pros fix these kind of things...!

So Lexus freaks, bring on the small steel ball to check alignment! Well not quite, and I'm not too obsessed about things like that on a performance car. But it's better than before it was painted, and what's most important to me, the doors etc. are easy to close. I'm glad I spent the hours aligning when it was bare steel, and that I "insisted" the painter put the doors on when filling.
