Okay, I may be screwed. But, I know that with all the experience on this forum I should hopefully be able to get through it.
Here is the back story:
I was in the process of removing / replacing my floor pans when I found out that the cross member was completely rotted through. To add to the problem both inner and outer rockers, were also toast. So, before any work I measured my door openings and welded a brace across the top. I really didn’t have anything to weld the brace to at the bottom of the door and I also was going to be working exactly where it needed to be so I didn’t brace the bottom. I know, I know it was stupid.
Now I am paying for my stupidity. The top opening is good but the bottom is a half inch wider! The rocker isn’t even close to fitting correctly.
Is it possible to correct this on the frame? If so HOW?? I am at a loss.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
