Symmetry?

Don't worry about symmetry Paul
Cars back then especially race cars were nowhere near symmetrical.

They were hand formed and out by huge margins that you would never accept.
Im talking in inches not millimetres


The rule here is if it looks right it is right.
Your car looks great, I know when you spend so much time looking at it you get ultra critical.
The route you have taken is labour intensive but you are building a Sammio so you already committed that you would have a lot of work to do.

Are there any other Sammios close to you that will take you for a spin to remind you why your working so hard.
It took me 3 years to build my Roadster at the end I had forgot it was a car, it had turned into just something I worked on.

It was worth it when I finally got to drive it.

Which BRG are you planning?
I ended up using "John Lewis" green on the roadster but in its earlier paint job I used Connaught green and I should have stuck with it. very deep and almost black in the shadows.
