It doesn't come across clear in the picture however my quarter panel where it connects with the rocker is not entirely  straight. It kinda bows inward a little . I was hoping anyone had ideas on how I could straighten this out I've been told  applying heat helps

well  i had to two set of door shells due to the guy who splashed NAERC body totally fhaked it up. but second shells i bought from Ron and thingies are good. my glass comes down to the outer skin , like maybe 1' away.  that is why i thought glass may be in the way. you should get glass  or lexan to try out with the regulator .  at one point i did not work on that darn car for year.
peed me off .
 door shell should be latched and hinge( and lined up with A pillar) in close position , then work up the regulator. that's what i did.
 i do not have center re enforcement bar in doors.  if you get T boned that ain't gonna help anyway .

 Rebuilding my passenger door and bracing the more you build on these cars the more you learn, or so I have. But I'm trying not to fall into the trap of redoing every little detail every time I have a better idea but the doors is one thing that I just could not  and will not shortcut
