I worked on it for about 6hrs. The closest I got was about 1/2 inch. The truck is completely to a stock restoration. The floors half way up the firewall is new. The rockers are new. The bottoms of the door are new. The problem is the drivers side is mint with very little effort. I am no longer aligning the door with the fender but the cab in the back of the door. The alignment is no better with the rocker than the cab. The rocker is not preventing anything.
