Sanding and Polishing time start to finish for this door was about 8-10 hours.

By comparison, a Green Bastard door probably took me 30+ hours !![
Only mistake... Forgot to screw in a mirror base for final blocking... when we attached the mirror it made a slight wiggle in the area directly below the base

Good grief, you could use that mirror for shaving!

I think you need to go for counseling Gary. No individual in his right mind would be so fussy. You won't want to drive it. Another trailer queen.

C'mon.. You know I'll drive it... the convertible gets driven !!
But I probably do need counseling.
