Re: Alignment help
It doesn't matter what sequence you take when cutting or tearing it apart. Where it's important is during the fabrication stage.
Mount your doors so they locate perfectly in relation to the windshield frame first.
Since you will have no support with the torque boxes/rockers installed, you can then twist the front section so that you have a nice gap to the quarter panel. Once you it where you want it, weld in reinforcements to keep everything aligned. Now you can start to weld in the torque boxes and rocker panels. Just remember to always check that the gaps remain the same. Once everything is welded in place you can remove the reinforcements. More than likely things will move a bit due to the stresses in the welds, but this can be straightened back out using a bit of force.
The final adjustments for a perfect gap is by the use of shims at the body mounts.
