I'm beginning my second (scratch) build. The first had very little sheet metal work, while this one is all metal. So, as my thread title asks, how good is good enough on the parts I make? I know that they will never be as pretty factory-made ones, but how much "wave" in the flanges or little dents from the forming hammer, for example, is okay?
