A little background on the car first. The previous owner took the body off the frame. restored the frame/suspension and then cut the body in half to replace floors and sills. At that point he quick and I took over. I would have preferred to fix the floors and sills while the car was still attached to the frame but I am well past that so I must work with what I have. I had the two halves media blasted and then I got them in epoxy primer. I currently have new inner and outer rockers, floors and trunk floor from TRF to begin the re-assembly.
In order to get the two halves aligned I have chosen to mount the doors and get the gap to the scuttle panel as well set as I can for now and then align the doors to the rear. I have both halves mounted to the frame with the correct pads and spacers. I know that is a lot to get to my question but I was hoping that someone out there that is working on their car could give me some measurements off the inner rocker. I want to make sure that the two parts are sitting at approximately the correct height off the sill. I think the rear is in the correct spot but in order to get the door to align up I have to lift the rear to the point where the flange in the foot well will not have much overlap with the sill and the floor. What I need to know is the hight from the top off the sill to the tip of the door opening up front and the top of the sill to the squared off section that is inside the door jamb, any help is much appreciated.
