Welp, tonight wasn't that great. Got one B-pillar brace bent up and half way welded in....

Then test fitted the door again. For some reason it was really close to the B-pillar support. Measured everything again, good. Measured again, good. Got confused for a while. Cussed a bit. Measured again..... AH HAH..... The front driver's side A-pillar is twisted, I should have noticed that just by looking at the hinge pockets. Seems to me like someone had their door open, backed up and wacked the door. Which then broke the pin in the hinge, bashed the cab, and then twisted the A-pillar.

I know what I'm doing tomorrow now..... Replacing an A-pillar... Wa-hoo
