Very nice, what did you guys find with the driver door to rocker gap? On my dad's 69' we tried for hours to get the gaps right. Comparing ours to cars seen at cruise nights, we were perfect.

Looking at pictures, I now know that YOURS is perfect haha

Me and my body guy worked quit a bit on the gaps. The problem is that whomever welded the quarters and door skins on the car their lines where not perfect and now some metal work has to be done as both my doors are way to high. If I tried to put the small vent windows on the doors they will not fit the A pillar correctly. I'm going to have the guy that did the cage do the metal work. He's really busy for the next month or two thought so well see when he can fit me in.
