chainline on my fixed conversion

so, eyeballing with a ruler, it looks like my chainline is about to be off by 1mm. I guess i'll know for good once i get a chain on there, but is 1mm enough to really mess things up, or will i be cool?

I know this thread was a joke, but eyeballing does not include using a ruler. That's why it's called eyeballing.
