Appreciate the responses. Regarding the body fit-up we dropped front of body on frame rails and worked to back. It appears to hit somewhere in back, but @Wisconson-Snake maybe I need to revisit the tranny tunnel as a source that might hold mid body up high.

I can fit my fingers under body so about 1/2" or more it sits above door sills, and I have to flex fiberglass down on the fiberglass sheets under the seats.

I think the key is, it rests on front of cowl bar but is slightly raised above rear support of cowl. so something is hitting somewhere. I figured either I cut door cutouts and that helps me settle it in, but from most of your responses it appears I will leave cutouts in, and try to solve the body issue before cutting.

As to the door, we got our doors to fit great in current location but I fear most of work was for not if we have to adjust...but the adjustment should be mostly the rear of door dropping with rear of body when we find what is holding body up.

I will attempt to attach a pic of our door fitup. We did not plasma torch door hinge supports but oversized holes so we had access to move door as needed then when we got it where we wanted, we added two holes and spring pins to have repeatability in finding door fitment in future.
