Well I can definitely shead some light on this. I just finished the Antique & Collectible doors last week. The driver door went on and lined up perfect in about ten minutes. The passenger door took two days. I had purchased the "paint" body so modifications to the glass were not a problem. I had to shave the bottom of the door toward the back as well as the striker plate area a little. The general up and down and side to side alignment took several tries to get right after that. The hinge plates were shimmed on the passenger side as well. Slight adjustments with a file had to be made to both doors to allow them to open fully without touching the front fenders. The doors now fit and work perfectly! It is completely flush at the top and down the side as well. If you have the "high luster gel coat" body you will be screwed, unless you make the mods and then take the door to a boat shop to fix the gelcoat. The old bodies seem to be harder to align and don't seem to be as strait as the new ones. The other problem is that fiberglass dosn't always cure the same way. I will have door pictures in my gallery in the next few days. Let me know if I can help.

The bodies I believe are far better than others. The really lay the glass on thick. As a matter of fact, I had to go and get different fasteners because in some cases the glass was so thick the ones provided in the kit were too short.

--Absolutely, and the quality of the gelcoat is excellent!
