Gap between nose cone, hood and valance for a Daytona

Good day folks,

I'm getting ready to repaint the nose cone and my valance very soon.
And I was wondering what the average gap is between the nose cone, hood and valance is.
I don't know why, but 3/4"or 1" is stuck in my brain for some reason.
Any help or guidance on this subject would be gratefully appreciated  :2thumbs:

As you know Curt, the variances/tolerances are endless in wingcar "uniformity"..... but I generally shoot for a "uniform" 3/4" gap on the Daytona, anything less if using factory style nose seals they start looking like bulging inflated inner tubes with a smaller gap, anything larger than 3/4 up to 1 inch doesn't look good esthetic wise with the rest of the body lines
