This is where you my need to pull or stretch the windshield frame. I saw where someone use ratchet straps to pull it into alignment. Once the doors and hard top all meet reasonably well, tack weld in some bracing so you can cut out the rust that needs to be replaced.

This is great advice. I did not do this and my door gap is now messed up. How can I make sure my frame is straight and true?
