Yes, the worst is definitely behind me. As for the door window frames, I put a lot of work into the 3rd door to make it look right. The gaps were bad and I had to cut it loose from the door and re-weld it. It was also pushed out similar to yours in the picture.

The weather strip attaches to a pinch weld in the door jamb. I smacked that pinch weld in a little with a dead blow hammer so it wasn't pushing out so hard on the window frame, then reinstalled the weather strip and checked the fit until it looked right. Had to do the same in several places on the other doors as well. Those window frames will bend a little, but I'm sure its much less stressful bending them in the body work stage than when they're painted.

Hope this helps.
