I think it looks great. Would never guess it's your first attempt at
scratch building a car. I just had a replacement furnace installed and the guys
used some metallic tape to seal the sheetmetal joints after they screwed the
sheetmetal on, it looked like thin metal that applied with a spray glue. It
might be the perfect material for adding the joint covering metal plates on the
inside slope sheets? I wish I'd asked them what the product was. Maybe I'll
find it at a building supply. Regards, Dave Branum
