Think of building this car like restoring an old house. Mine is a little over a 100 years old and there isn't a plum surface to be found. If I get stubborn on say cutting trim angles It will look terrible. Better to blend. It is far more important for everything to look right than be right. At least when it comes to fit and finish. The OCD guys struggle the most here from what I have seen. Also helpful to take a step back and look ahead to what gets covered and what doesn't. Nothing on the roadster embodies this more than the dash.

Your taking the right approach really sitting through it. Writing it down helps me. If you prepare yourself to go backwards on occasion this also helps. My operating philosophy is "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"

Your build looks great.
