Moving along nicely.
I presume your engine mounting brackets look like this? A big weakness ~ I had 6 like this. Robey's found me an uncracked used set that we strengthened before fitting.

Never mind Ital's, I went on a Jaguar factory visit in the early 80's and saw the same method of getting doors to fit with planks of 4x2 on the XJ Series 3 production line. When we questioned the guys on the line about this they said the "official" term for the process was "door f**king"!

Ouch! ~ that's a pity. Won't be long & all will look like this. I also had to go the firing route with my project.

That is going to be one handsome motor car. You are achieving very good panel fit. Fortunately the dies at Pressed Steel were still in good condition in 1965.
