I have worked several hours this weekend finishing up rebuilding door hinges and test fitting the passenger door before welding up the work that has been done on the step and lower hinge pocket replacement. I got the door hung and managed to get the gaps and body lines on both sides and the top adjusted better than I could have ever imagined for my first time, but now for the problem. The gap for the rocker panel is good in the rear but the front has about half an inch gap between the bottom of the door and the rocker. I have tried taking the front edge of the step loose and moving the edge and rocker panel up to adjust the gap but the step hit the bottom of the door before making very little improvement on the gap. The only way I can see of fixing the problem is to pie cut the length of the rocker between the rocker and the step and rewelding it to close the gap in the front. Any suggestions on a better way of fixing this are greatly appreciated. Here are some pics.
