I absolutely LOVE how you document the problem and then the solution. What a great example of what can be accomplished with a little bit of courage and willingness to make it right. Great job!

Thank you!  hopefully it will be helpful to other builders out there

Problems  - The REdo has modified OEM replica sized batwings  The bat wings are not as wide as the G28  batwings. This leave about a two inch gap that has to be filled

The Door skins are from Carl in RI and are a bit different than the G28 doors.  this difference is  makes the top of the door stick out by about 3/8.

Plus the top of the qtr panel about mid point has a hump.  Not sure how this is, but it is.

now on to the qtr panels.

have some issues here, not sure if it is because these are roadster doors, but I did have to make quit a few adjustment to the doors to get  them to work. OR possibly operator error, or a combo of the above,   But whatever the cause have to make it work and look right

going to make a mold to make the part to either cover the existing mess or come from below.  gotta think about it. ::scratch

Used the 3m panel bond, waited 24hours took the clamps off.   Pretty happy  how it came out, of course there is a ton on body work still to do on the door.

well it very well could take all weekend to get the drivers door skin on. Making a ton of little adjustments :LL:

I had previously increased the length of the door but it is a bit warped added  CSM will grind back side.. Had to grind the lower door sill, sand the upper door flange  and so on
