Yesterday I got the driver door inside primered. The transition areas for the inner door panel turned out ok with some filler blending them in. Both doors are now mounted. I'm having a little trouble with some door gaps. The top and bottom on the driver door are real tight. These are doors from my original cab and with the new door skin and inner panel the door may have ended up being a bit taller. I don't know. The passenger side one is tight also, but not as bad. The gaps on the rear edges are good.

I guess the next step is getting the outside flat and smooth and in primer.

Blended the innner dor panel in, you can see the corners are not the same bends:
