WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY SOME FREAKING HEAD WAY
when i first put my quart panels on a few months ago, i did so without even consideration of a door (DOH!)
i even started the quarters AFTER inner rockers, and before doors went on
i got around to putting doors on late December early January
didnt fit worth a ****, and couldn't adjust at all...
i left it basically untouched until just yesterday
it was a result of sagging, it being a convertible, and the door post with the windshield was bent as an effect, its a long complicated mess, but after the consultation of a 35 year experience Uni Body Frame Repair Specialist, we worked on pulling it to where it needed to be, it didn't take much from this guy, i think he could have done it in his sleep.
but suddenly the doors shut perfectly all the gaps were correct, and a few hours later the quarter i had moaned and groaned over, was fitting PERFECTLY!
I was beat down over this and couldn't take another hit more, but today i got some serious motivation and will to keep on keeping on.

Now THAT is Dedication!
Right on! LOL I'm glad to hear you had a great day and something finally worked out. It really does make a difference when you've had 2 or 3 or 4 things go not so right. I'm pretty sure most of us have had the rough times when nothing goes right.
