Cut out some more rust and moved to the front A pillar. Really it is in pretty decent shape only about the bottom three inches are going to need to be replaced.

Feel free to give me any pointers on these pictures. I think that the gap between the rocker and the backing plate are close to right. I didn't have much to go off of besides page 23 of the assembly manual. It looks like there should be 3/8 inch gap.

I will put the door back on this week and see how my gaps are lining up.
