Help!!
 
well , long story short: I ended up firing my body shop for long delays and lies. Found a much more reputable one and am preparing to take it to him. I was going to install my door strikers so they would have them to get all my gaps and panels fitting properly and I discovered that it appears the other guys flubbed up on installing the striker posts. the strikers sit way lower than they should and the door sits perfect. I need two measurements form you experts so he will be able to get this back where it belongs. In the included picture I need the measurement from "A" to "B", and if it is not too much trouble a level measurement from point "B" to the door hinge post . Thanks guys I really have a big headache since I discovered this :mad:. I was so excited to get this thing painted and now im in for two more striker post and labor :mad:: This is not my car , but a gorgeous example I found on Pelican.

if the door is on the car and you have the gap the way it should be to the QTR. it being a smaller gap on the bottom of the door to QTR and just a little bigger on the top were the door meets the QTR . then you move and clamp the striker post so the door closes the way it should with the door gaskets installed . when its right you pull the gasket back out then weld it in place . there are no chassis measurements for what your looking for because no two cars are the same . you will find they are 5mm off from car to car with no set dimensions .

Thank you, I was thinking along the same lines. So I guess I should not panic . I will just get replacement jambs and just have it done by setting up the door first. I appreciate your help my good man. SmileWavy
