Minihawn:  I found a quarter panel pic for you to look at.  It appears that I may have been slightly mistaken.  It looks like the rocker does stick out a little.  Your discretion on how much.  See the attached pic.   :'( ::scratch  Jim

From your pictures, it appears that the bottom of the quarter panel and the top of the rocker, both brackets need to be moved outward a tad to line up the correct contour.  This should match the contour of the rear of the door.  Jim

Thank u. Problem solved! anything else ? ::headbang

Good Job Mac,

You've actually taking on and followed through were alot  wanted too but the task was too daughting.   Keep pressing forward and you'll have a nice car at the end of the build

Thank u Rod, that means a lot coming from such a long time builder such as urself..it's been tough sometimes overwhelming. But something within me said to keep going. I'm still interested in having some interior work done . But we can talk about that later . Cool?
