What's your fender/cowl reveal look like?

These cars rolled around for a lot of years with the gaps the factory set, and they definitely weren’t perfect.

I’ve cut fenders before to set gaps when doing concourse restorations on old British iron, but that should always be a last resort. Because if you haven’t tried everything, and considered all the possible problems that the gap could be a symptom of, you might just be screwing up a fender when the fender wasn’t the real issue. Ie, cutting the fender to fix a gap that’s messed up because the chassis is out of whack.

Regardless, it’s not something I’d do on any of my cars. That’s one of those “over-restored” things people do for show and concourse cars. I think it’s kind of silly, if they didn’t fit like that from the factory then a true restoration would leave it the way it was, not fix it to be perfect. But that’s not the way a lot of the concourse guys think.
