    Edwardb,
    The main thing I'm seeing with the later bodies is panel alignment (that's what I meant when I said "tighter" in the earlier comment). The earliest couple that I did were spot on but as time goes on they are becoming less so and panels are not meeting as well. Miller has certainly seen LOTS more than I have so maybe he'll comment whether he has observed the same trend---could be that it's just been my luck of the draw but it has followed manufacturing dates.

    JK, I know what you're sayin cause from time to time we get one that seams like it came from different mold....but it didn't, just the way things are. David's car is one of the MK4 specials so it's ,what? 5 years old?....and I have one that's 4 months old....they look like they could have been made the same week.....oh! I swore you to secrecy (not me)! All bets were of when you went all "Captain O Ring" and left me block sanding in the corner............ Go ahead, say it, you know you want to......No toon can resist the o'l "Shave and a haircut"
