Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
Thanks for the insight and pointers. Yes doors shells are original to truck and were fit prior to final welding of the cab sheet metal. The window frame could have gotten tweaked a little while I was working with it, moving it around, etc. I think I can finesse it enough for proper gap. The new skins and bottoms measure exactly the same as original measurements before I cut them up. Door skins went on great, fit like a glove. Kinda weird.
Like MDPotter mentioned, I think the door bottom profile / angle is off a little bit. I think I can work the metal up enough to clearance the rocker, its only like 1/8" or 1/4" of contact. Otherwise I'll just cut the door bottoms off again and scoot them up. Probably trim up bottom skin 1/4" too. Easy enough to do, just time. And I'd rather work the door again than the rocker.
