OK OK OK!!! I got back on it today and had some real good progress. I do this as a side job and for the last few weks I have been working all kinds of hours at my day job trying to get the Oakland Int. Airport expansion project finished up and now that it is I have some time to play again!
I had to create a door pillar gap at the 4th door front edge and here is what I did for the upper gap. First I marked out what I wanted for a nice gap and then I had to cut down the door to create the space. I cut the leading edge of the window rail and in doing so I exposed the three layers of metal that make this area up. So what I had to do was cut the gap about 1/16" larger than I wanted and then stitch it back up. That is the easy part, the hard part is then grinding the welded edge to a perfect straite edge because you can not use body filler in this area. Once I had it with in a bout 1/16" I turned to a hand file for the fine tunning. This is alot of work but if you want it to look correct than you just have to do it.
