The inner door is hitting on the lower rear corner. Which is not allowing it to go back the 1/2" needed.  I added material on the inside and took material off the outside.  It is getting close.   Added another 3 layers, and will grind it down tomorrow.

Might have been quicker to pull a mold off the door that came with the REDO  and fiberglass it to the new inner door.... but too late for that now ::toothy

Started working on the doors yesterday.  Had my new used latch for the drivers side and some thing was off ::scratch.  After looking at numerous pictures of latch installs on this website the PO had installed the passenger side latch on the drivers side. 

So the Striker plate is in the wrong position and will require a REDO. 

I test fitted the inner door.  With the inner door clamped in place I test fitted the outer skin.
Need to move inner door to the rear 1/2 inch, this will require fixing a few things.
lower right corner and upper vertical piece. The front isn't sealing so the gap needs to be closed.

My buddy with the machine shop did the REDO on the Arruat bushings. 

the 1st two pictures are the Arruat fit :o  The 2nd two are the REDOs

A tighter fit is always good !!

Hoping I can put Arruat behind me now!!

The flanges are almost done on the driver door. The roof now has a flange and the lower flange is now straight.

I also added the flange just under the windshield,  not sure what type of weather strip goes there  ::scratch ::help 

The flange that is horizontal and toward the front of the car will require some REDO as it is pretty flimsy as it was ground down and cracked in places.

Back on the REDO after 24 days off.  Went to Italy and toured the Lambo and Maserati factories :drool,  Then caught the stomach flu when we  got home  :LL:.  Then my gals father passed last week. Things are slowly returning to normal......

Absolutely impressive the amount of work you are getting done in such a short amount of time! Keep it up and you'll be done in no time!!!  ::beers

Thanks LP670!   It was 2 years a go that I flew out to take a look at the REDO.  The PO pretty cool guy and very helpful.

In the 2 years I think I have accomplished at lot on the car but have a long way to go! :LL:

I'm having a blast working on the REDO!

Thank to all that have offered help, suggestions and encouragement - but specifically Merci-Me, Autopro, USMC Butler, Fiero King, Lambo Sam and yes the prior owner   :notworthy

Got zero done this weekend heading out today for a vacation with my gal. Be back on it after Thanksgiving!!

I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

Put the door seal in just to see how everything lined up.

The flange that I added on top needs to be a little thicker and less depth.

The flange along the bottom is not straight.

Going to have to add some CSM.

Busy work week as trying to get ready for vacation,  but was able to get the flange made for the windshield area made, now just to trim it up and mount it.
