I'm sorry, John, for your problem. I know that's frustrating. I was told
that the old metal presses that made MGA parts, for example,were not as good
as the ones today and after the parts were made they were "skimmed" with
body filler to smooth them out. 'Sounds like someone re-did your "skimming"
very poorly.
