thanks guys... was working on the other door today and it's kicking my ass. there's a ding in the incaved curve at the top of the door (not sure what to call it but it runs parallel under the window from the back and fades out about half way across the door) and as usual, it's taking me forever to get it straight... maybe by tomorrow night i'll be done... bah... :evil:

That section and blending the seam line through the goose neck are the 2 hardest parts of the door. If you get frustrated with it, it is good to get away from it a while and come back and look at it with fresh eyes..
