: cross measurements on original 68 doors

Can someone do me a favor and measure their 68 coupe doors corner to corner diagonally? I had my original doors re-skined...the drivers side seems to fit nice but the passenger side seems to be bigger. I have not measured them to see if they are different...barely had time to play with it over the weekend. it seems like when i get any sort of gap at the bottom, it hits the front of the rain gutter when i open it...almost like it is too far forward, but the hinges won't move back any further.

any thoughts? i want/need to get this resolved before i hang the quarter on the passenger side.

Thanks,

Scott

I came up with about 52 7/8. That's not the easiest measurement to take so it may not be exact, but it's close. Mike. :beers::beers:

Scott,

I measured as well, and got a measurement within 1/16 of Mikes. 52 15/16.

I would like to see pictures of the front top of the doors, mounted on the car. What, specifically, i am looking for is to see how the gap is between the top of the door and the drip rail.

please email them to me or post them here.

email address is sdphilips at gmail dot com

Thanks.
