Don't even fiddle with those gaps til you are sitting on your good body mounts.

Yup.  Got some bushing parts on order since I don't quite trust the original bolts and washers.

My new latches and strikers got delivered last week and it's a good thing I verified the door actually latched when properly aligned.  It turns out the jamb was completely misaligned and there was not enough play for the striker.  Which meant I had to cut and weld some more.



And once that was fixed, I got the gaps closed in on the A-pillar...
