Hi Chuck,
Good for you...you can do it yourself and save big $$$.
Just allow plenty of time.It will take longer than whatever you estimate!
Take lots of measurements along the way and it will turn out fine fine!
As for the door gaps, I did not have any trouble with them. I used no jigging
when doing the rockers. This included inner and outer rockers.
I did however, as you should, make sure that you have a good solid frame
before doing the outer body. If you have rot in the frame rails or x member,
make sure to fix that first.....
Good Luck...
