Front latch panel assembly help

[Ashbaxter]

Hi Guys

I am piecing the front end back together prior to taking the car to the body shop next week and not sure it looks correct.
I have spent hours looking at photos on the net but can't quite see what I need to see.

I have Restoration Design front repair panels and dansk latch panel.

First pic - should the latch panel be bent up top to meet the sides

Second pic - should there be a gap in the lip that holds the seal

Not sure if this helps you..

Inside shot, looks like I need to cut so it goes back further but what should the front line up with?

[marcus_cottrill]

An external shot ..

[Ashbaxter]

Thanks Marcus it does a bit.
Do you have more photos around that area?

[marcus_cottrill]

Internal shot .. Prior to pulling it apart

[Ashbaxter]

I will line those shots up with what I have
Cheers
