Very nice work! I was thinking on the front door body line not matching up when using it for a rear door. My solution was to maybe cut up a long bed bed side to try to use as an outer skin. IDK if it'll work or not? Maybe I'll get to my crew cab project this year. It's looking very unlikely though. I have to get the Longhorn drivable first. Haha By the way, I hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas!!!!!

Don't know if that would help. The suburban could still be different after that. I'm just going to blend it back to the wheel opening. I'm basing the body line difference on the door jamb from the truck cab. It matches my new door but slightly different than suburban skin. My cut was less than 3/16" and still have 1/16" gap to weld. That was enough to match bodyline.
