Watch that door against the brick. Car looks way to nice to scratch at this point.

Thats correct in that picture there is no longer a brace. Thats because I made a rookie mistake and removed the brace that I built before confirming everything lined up and doors shut ok. There's a big chunk of time between those two pictures and the reason you see no heater channel is because I just removed it. I had to use a come-a-long to pull the body into the right spot for a perfect door gap.
Door shuts great now, just had to install the pass heater channel twice. I hope no one else makes the same dumb mistake I did.
Here's the brace I made and welded to the body (sorry for the poor quality):

This was when they began drifting apart:
I wouldn't call it a divorce. It's more of a temporary estrangement while they each work on resolving their own issues.

Ain't that the truth? It was 112* in my garage several days last week. When it hit 105* outside, I didn't even bother going out. Too hot is too hot. |

First time we seperated the body and the pan(we didn't lift it with the tractor, we lifted it off with a pulley system we setup like most do, just took it outside to wash it):
Going back to the body for the second time:
Its going to be separated one more time and then back together forever. Going to paint the pan then stick the body back to it. And done...with body work anyway.  |

Coming back together for the first time in 2 years
Together again
