Re: Help!

I was looking for the old post with the door measurements as well. They are spot on.

The only thing is that taking something apart and getting it back to spot on dimensions can be tricky.

As suggested I would do some light tacking to hold it in place and fit the floors as the first guide and then the top. Once everything fits (to dimensions I guess) then weld it back together.

I once welded my rockers in a 70 truck without the doors. I didn't check much just fitted them in place. I stepped back and was really happy with my work until I hung the doors. My 'square door hole' was not 'square' anymore and gapping the doors was impossible.

I basically called myself a dumbass, cut the rockers out, squared the hole and started all over.

Don't be me.
