Re: 41DegreesSouth Build Thread

Even though the A and B pillars were near origonal, when I put the outer rocker on it sat pretty nice at the back end but was nearly a quarter inch in at the front (compared to the door skin). It also had quite a large bow outwards over the length of the door. Don't know what the professionals do, but I put some quarter inch bar on the bottom of the inner rocker, sliced and diced the outer rocker, and stuck the outer rocker on. As of last night it is basically done. You can see it still has a bulge at the back, but the overall line is good, as is the gap between door/rocker.
