I don't think flight characteristis will be affected but airplane value
will be decreased. This is not a corvette, what you have is an aircraft
elevator built IAW Vans instructions and acceptable practices and
procedures. Unless you're a world renowned expert don't argue with
success.
My 2 cents for what it's worth....A&P for 29 years.

My elevator trailing edges are structuraly sound but I dont think they
look good. Would it effect flight characteristics a great deal if I used
epoxy or the like to fill in the gaps and make the trailing edge and the
bottom rivets smooth before painting?

I used T-88 (epoxy) from Aircraft Spruce instead of Pro-Seal in
all my trailing edges - you should be fine ...

I was attaching the U-813D forward nose wheel pant brackets last night on
the WD-630 nose wheel weldment and noticed that the allen screw came within
.032" of actually rubbing on the tire! I emailed Van's and they said to
stick a couple more washers on it or grind down the screw.
Just something to watch for... a blown tire could lead to bad things
happening.
