    Anyone have any idea what the gaps around my 68 Skylarks doors should be? Is there a starting measurement someone can give me for a reference?

    thanks

    The best thing i could advise as a guide, is to start at the quarter panel to door gap, keep the gap's at or around 3/16. No smaller than 3/8 and no larger than 1/4, where you can the gap uniform between the rocker and the quarter.
    Then you can move to the fender, matching it to the door, keeping the gaps in uniform then, on to the hood, using shims to help set the right height or gap. Have fun, John.

    So 3/16" between the door and the quarter panel

    And, 3/8" - 1/4" between the rocker and the bottom of the door?

    Thanks :TU:
