A comment about the door latch cutout scribe lines.
Based upon my single experience: No not trust the scribe lines without doing some confirming before cutting. I cut as marked and found out the passenger's door scribe lines were TOO LOW. Threw off lots of things. Especially the steel bracket/brace that supports the latch from the frame. The two holes were no where close to lining up properly. Had to lower the door latch striker pin ¾". If I had a "do over", I'd mount the steel bracket, transfer the location holes on the bracket for the latch to the fiberglass and work from those points of reference.
I got lucky on the driver's door side. Holes lined up just fine. What a bunch of grief!
