General update, no pictures to show at this time. Gary had been struggling for the past few days trying to finalize door alignment on both sides. He was having a heck of a time getting the doors to fit the door opening properly.

I stopped out to see how he was doing. After looking at the car for a while, and double checking all his before/after measurements, I suggested he take it down off the jack stands and let it sit on all 4 wheels for a couple days. I've always been amazed how much a unibody car moves around when lifting on an asymetric hoist and wondered if the body was reacting to support being provided at the subframe arms front and back. Even this one being a 4 door and very solid, you could see changes in the door gaps on the hoist vs the floor.

Checked it today and things are looking better. He's on to try and make the final adjustments. Lesson learned I guess.


Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way
