Door Fitment

[BCrouse]

Hey guys, I have been fitting my doors and I have a question about how the top of the passenger door matches the body The drivers side seems to match much better. I was going to mount the door latches but I'm a little hesitant until I know the door is close to where it needs to be. Thoughts?

Thanks
Bob

doesn't look too far off to me. how does the back of the door and the bottom of the door fit front and back? check out some posts from jkleiner and j.miller aka dabat and look at some of their body work pics to better understand where the filler usually needs to go.

It fits pretty decent everywhere else. I am mainly concerned about the corner of the door where it looks like it should cover the body but doesn't.

are you planning on doing your own body work? I'm guessing that area will get some filler, and honestly, not look that bad once the rest of the gaps are set.

Please know that I am the only guy who cut the driver's door so DON'T consider this to be common practice even though it worked for me.

Good Luck!

Nothing abnormal there---that's what they all look like before bodywork. Here's what they should look like after ;)

Thanks guys. Jeff is doing the body and paint so if he says it's ok, that's good enough for me!
