I am doing the same thing rebuilding all the guard flares etc on the Ram SC, I have spent months making jigs fibreglassing etc so the flares are same side to side. This body is reasonable straight just that the general shape is wrong in places eg. left guard flare is 1/2" further out than the right.

The biggest thing I have dealt with is the body twist which was only in the right rear guard and was high at the tailight by 1-1/2", I now have it down to under 1/4" by careful tweaking and some spacers and it now sits there with no stress. I think the body was a bit green when it was loaded into a container from the UK.

Good luck Patrick with your bondo I will get to that stage shortly!
