From what I've seen of your work this should be a walk in the park. Good for you and good luck.

Today

It looked like this when I started. Not bad...


I opened the sill. Someone had shortened right side about an inch...


Pulling back it to the right place....


One inch too close.


After few minutes it is on right place.


It has now new brakes and some paint... Needs some welding, paint and body sealer.
