Started with the doors. As noted the hinges do not slide back far enough, leaving a 0.300" gap, both sides. 3 choices: open up cowl hole, put slot in hinge or make 4 shims for the doors.

I tried the cowl hole first. Have an electric Dremel type hand router, but no carbide. Tried a 1/4" 2 flute end mill - 11,000 rpm and it dug in and kicked back like a mule.

So much for that.

Removed one hinge at a time and mounted in the Bridgeport - lengthened slot 0.120". After mounting the hinges and jiggling the door about got a 0.200" rear gap - looks about right but could not find in the GM Body Manual what the dimension is supposed to be.

So much for day one.
