Hi,
In the middle of refinishing the cabinet from a VMC 110. The side and back panels are not dented, but have a little wave in them over the top to bottom. The metal can be pushed in a little and it springs back, which I assume is normal in the design of these machines without much bracing. How straight do you guys get the panels? It's not like a cars body that you have to get perfectly straight, or is it? I am getting it as straight as possible, but what do you guys try to achieve.
Thanks
Gary
