She's alive!!!! Great work Scott!

Did you take the hinges off of the doors? Have you tried to align them back yet? I am having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to align mine.

Thanks Clay! I did take them off the doors, but before I removed them I drilled 2 locator holes in each hinge through to the door. It definitely helped getting them back on and having a good starting point so I really only had to worry about the hinge to A pillar connections. I should've drilled the holes in pillar sides of the hinges months ago when I first took them off the cab, but that didn't happen.

Man, I wish I would have thought of that!!

I have been playing like hell to get the doors aligned....I don't know how they managed to do it on the assembly line.
