indy square meets round

ok bodywork, my indy for some reason the square back pannel meets the round arch used to be flush but now it sticks out a bit and its now bonded and rivited on, what have other people done to make it fit flush again, i'm sure mr SVA might have a prob with mine.

I saw some at stoneliegh that had very neat aluminium plates folded around the dodgy join.
And one that had been filed to blend in and painted.

Just the plate on top. It's all pretty solid underneath.

What I did with mine on my MNR was to fill the back of the joint with resin so it was a stable solid joint then carefully filled the gap with gel coat. Some careful rubbing down then polished to a gloss finish to match the rest of the body with 2 grades of compound. Although you can see the joint due to the difference in shape either side it looks very neat.
