+a lot @ one of the best resto threads.

how did you get all thepanels to line up without using body filler or cutting or anything? my new doors and fenders didnt line up at all. and my driver door came with the wrong size bolt hole in the plates the hinges bolt on. so i had to drill and tap.

100% luck,...it was about time something went my way,...i have had enough bad luck with this car,.and i guess things just turned around that day,...

i litterally took them out of the box, bolted them on, and did nothing else,...and somehow...they were perfect,...no shims,..no nothing

i am still trying to decide to keep the original door on the passenger side or replace it,...it is 97% rust free and no dents,...the hinges are SHOT! and there is a small crack by the door latch,...and i cant get it to line up,...something is telling me to take my chances with another repo door,...

where did you get your doors? the only doors i see are advertised for standard interior and you obviously have pony. what's the difference?
