Panel replacement always requires a certain degree of "fettling", and if one gets in a rush at this point, it will show twice as bad once the paint is on.
Estimate time on the high side... and then double or triple it by the time it's done.
It's worth it though because a good body rework with nice straight flowing lines and even gaps and good panel fit will stand out when it's done.
The GT-6/Spit body has some beautiful flowing lines and semi-slab sides, and a lot of flat on the bonnet. If you do it right it will show, unfortunately if it isn't right it will show as well; I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those that very subtly stands out...
Keep us posted!
