Okay... Need some insight, advice, knowledge...
Getting the new rocker fit to the car I have found the A pillar on the drivers side has dropped 3/4's of an inch. This is due to years of no support from the front floor brace, nothing I have done... The door still shuts with a click
With the front floor brace installed the floor flange is 3/4's of an inch higher then the rocker flange.
Here is a pic I marked up. This is AFTER I put a jack under the pillar and raised it about 3/8's of an inch. At this point the door will not close....

I can come up with a few things to chase this down but I want to hear what you guys think...
