I had to slightly enlarge the bolt holes at the A-pillars, but where it met the front firewall flanges it lined up great. I took many measurements and the floor height is spot on to where the original floor was. However; when I hung my doors the bottoms just barely rubbed the lip on the inner rocker. Even though I put in the low hump floor it looks like that lip needs to drop about 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch to allow the door to have enough clearance once the rocker is installed. So, I will need to so a search and see how others fixed this problem.
So how much gap should I have when the door is closed and the outer rocker is not in place yet; is 3/16" enough?

Mine was roughly an 1/8", but it just depends on how close you are on your door adjustments. Could be closer, and you could have a larger gap at the top of your door. Its easier to nail once you get your lower A/B pillars on and can sit your rocker in place, then review your door gaps. Floor looks great though!! Nicely done.
