Yes, mine was close at delivery, but things changed as I started evening up wheel gaps, seams, etc. The front clam is rather flimsy and I think mine warped somewhat as it sat. Chris gives you a good starting point, but it's a very long road if you want to do things right...and I plan on mine being the best AP GT40 on the planet!) I consider selling mine every time I go out to the shop to work on it.
And so it begins...the AP build.

When I built mine I raised the shelf by about 1/2" to be at the correct height.
The standard measurements where no good for the body parts.

I wanted to stiffen the corners of the front clam to make one-man latching easier. I did something similar to what Ford originally did. There will eventually be a closeout panel on the underside of the clam below the sides of the frunk. These will then tie back the the panels that were placed this weekend.
Joe how straight is the rear portion of your front clam where it meets the windshield curve? My clam meets fairly flush on each lateral end and then dives nearly 1in in the middle of the clam/windshield where that naca duct is so they don’t meet flush. Your clam looks fairly straight across which I assume is giving you a nice flush fit.
I think mine is workable. I plan on installing a Quick Latch on each side of the NACA duct in the center to help hold things down and set the height. I will also be cutting the clam edge along nearly its entire length to allow me to set the gap evenly at 3/16" with the lower windshield surround.
