After filling a bunch of nickel/dime size holes in my '32 dash, I can attest that is no small feat. Kudos to anyone capable of metal finishing a panel.

Is it just the angle of the pics or is the front tire sitting to the back of the wheel opening?

Just so you don't have to go back 40 some pages.Here is a picture of the METAL work on the PS before the gray primer....

It's the angle the front wheels set perfect in the openings....

When I was at SCROC (a local occupational school where I first started learning to move metal) the first thing the instructor had us do was blast a 12-14" hole through the roof of a junker, then shrink it back and stitch it back together with gas and rod.

Getting those molecules to move the way you want w/o a ton of plastic does require skill and patience.
