how are you planning to address the mods to the roof line and A pillar?

If you look at the picture, the clamps are pressing into the upper out door skin to cause it to depress to much.  Once I finish the body work on the outer door skin, I still have to Duraglass the inner upper door to fill the void around the steel rod.  This will bring the level up.  Also the thickness of the 3m panel bond to be used in the final bonding process will have to be considered.   

If the drivers side is any indication of how it will go, it should be close, but most likely have to bring the roof up

Attached a couple of pictures of MM's car.  The key point for me is the width of the white section along the top of the door skin and how it meets up with front fender.  Im not sure how wide MM's white section is but the width on the REDO varies by 1/8 - 1/4 of an inch along the top of the door skin.

Nothing like a REDO, had to cut and adjust the outer door skin one more time. Looking at a bit more work before I can have the skin ready to bond to the inner door.

Hopefully get the skin bonded by the end of the week!
