Thanks. Little details that I didn't post included making it line up. There's some play/adjustibility in the hinges. It took several adjuments in positioning the cover on the hinges to get it to line up and have an even gap.

Apparently B F Goodrich produced a defective run of tires. I bought 4 with some cool wheels from American Specialty an the back tire were constantly turning brown.

I finally got tired (see how I did that) and filed a claim to get them replaced. I had less than 500 miles on them due to the ongoing resto but they were about 5 years old. They gave me a 50% credit toward the replacement tires so I guess I shouldn't complain, but more importantly I won't have to apologize for the way they look any more.
