I was so relieved when the drivers door lined up so easy, then I went to the passenger door and I was ready to throw a hammer to it. If it makes you feel any better I spent (1) whole week of my vacation screwing with that ONE door.
Here's the secret I learned but never used on my build.
CUT THE COWL HOOP BAR IN TWO PIECES.
Get the doors to fit then weld the hoop back together.
You may be complaining about how thick the fiberglass is in the cowl area. Just think how strong that makes the body. A & C makes some of the best fiberglass bodies around. Haven't you found that you need longer bolts than were supplied with the kit yet.
The fiberglass is too thick!!! But it sure is STRONG!!!!
No regrets here with my choice to go A & C. I just wish I knew more about club cobra before and during my build.
Have fun, I can see your ride parked under the mural in downtown Watkins Glen now. Make sure you post the pic when it happens.
LOL,
Jim
