While my rear end and front sub are out getting worked on decided to work on the rest of the to-do list.
- removed all the crap from the dash and firewall. Huge ass rats nest up on top of the glove box. very nasty
-added 1/8 steel rod to the bottom section of both doors to even out the gaps. something slightly incorrect with the new rear panel caused this I think. I could get the doors to lined up everywhere else. So at one point I decided I'd just add to the doors if I had to. Hard to tell in the before pic but I had 3/16 gap or slightly less on the top half and 1/4 or slightly more on the bottom half. Welded the rod on both the front and back sides and then grind everything smooth. Shave off some the rod where needed. Virtually undetectable.
