I have the right side inner rocker all welded up as well as the hell hole and jack post. Is now is the time to test fit the doors before I weld in the door sill and quarter pannel? I think it should be fine. I'm concerned the chassis may have warped and I'd like to be sure before I finish the rest of the welding.
Thanks, Rob |

I've finished all welding on the long so I pulled the passanger side bracing and bolted the door up. The gap just about doubled from what it was before, which was very tight at the bottom before, in fact it was almost touching. I was so worried about a shrinking door gap that I preloaded my door bracing, probably too much. The gap is 10mm at the top right now. Is there a way to shrink the gap just a little?

Looks like the car has moved. Best adjusted on a frame rack where measuring tools are handy. Not good to guess on this one, but you know that the factory quarter panel and door fit nicely originally and that is the gap it needs to return to.
