Smile Re: 71 Step novice build

Well, I ran into my first real snag tonight.
I mounted the door on the truck with the rocker clamped into place.
With the door raised all the way up (which is where it used to be) it still hits the rocker by 1/4".
My first though was I messed up the A-pillar install and put it up too high.
But the rocker is sitting on the floor.
So even if the A-pillar end was 1/4" lower I still couldn't move the rocker down anymore.
Now if this was in the back near the B-pillar I could raise the back wall a little and take care of the problem, but it's up front.
The only thing I can think of at this point is to make the holes in the door hinge longer and raise the door up in the opening by 1/4".
This would work, but what will that do to me later when I try to align the front fenders to the door.
Can't shorten the door
