Bolt the dorrs on & make sure there is space for them to shut before welding.
I had a shop do the floor & sills on my TR3. I think they held the doors in
place munis the hinges for a check fit. Much later in the project I went to
hang the doors and discovered that they didn't close. They were off by about
1/4 inch. I had to send the car back to the shop and it was a couple of months
later that she came back with 1/4 inch wider door openings.
Thoses sills align the front of the body with the rear so the alignment needs to
be right on for everything to fit anf look right.
