Crenwelge, I'm not so sure about the cars either! Mid 40's,early 50's F*rds were horrendous!

Bear in mind these trucks were built as a commercial vehicle in the '50s. Unless you want to spend a whole lot of time and $$$$$,you need to make allowances.
If you want perfect panel fit with credit card gaps,you'll need to get into Aston Martins or Rolls Royces grin (BIG $$$$$$$!)

The top radius on the door of my A.D looks more like the edge of a hexagon than a curve! big_eek
