thanks a bunch.

Whether you are working on Model A wood or a piece of wooden furniture the joints need to be as tight as possible to insure the structural integrity of the whole piece.
If there is 'slop' in the joints it will allow the body to shift making the door fit impossible to hold among other things. Don't know if this is helpful or not. Jay
