You need 3/16" minimum on each side or 3/8" overall. If the opening is not enough remove some of the screws and put a bottle jack and blocks between the pillars and open it up a bit. I tacked angle iron braces from the top of the seat base to the inner firewall and it helped mine to keep shape. I also cut 2 small angle iron pc's to hold the opening in place while I welded. My door gap turned out great all around and this was my first time at this type of surgery/welding. Here's some pic's of how I did mine. Good luck. http://community.webshots.com/album/377692314ehfoan Curt B.
