Ken
Here is one suggestion.
Jack the car up/down/or sideways to get the doors to fit correctly,
place 2 4x4s under the car to keep it supported. Weld 2 straps across
the doors to keep them lined up. This also keeps things from moving when
you cut out the floors and sills.
I did this a few years back and just put the 4x4s across 2 stout saw
horses to bring the car up to a nice working height.
Simple but effective.
Welcome to the list
