It wasn't...back to the drawing board...
Joe: let's see some progress reports.
Steve: thanx. It seems a lot slower than usual from my standpoint.

Hell the only progress I'm making at this time is on the Indy Hauler, once it's out of my hair, I need to replace the trans my Dakota R/T, then I can get on with the 308. The 308 does make a cameo appearance inby my current post on the Hauler.
I see a light at the end of the tunnel, oh carp, it's a train. Joe[This message has been edited by motoracer838 (edited 05-24-2014).]

After I don't know how many iterations, I finally settled on a way to mount the door skins.
Ultimately, I set the location of the door jam so both sides (driver/passenger) were equal, then placed two 3/16" spacers on the jam to space the door out.
I then had to place the rocker panel to set the door z-axis across the bottom. (found out after "plan 5 failed"). 
I ended up making pockets in the front of the door skin to hold the stock Fiero fasteners. I'll bond these in place once I'm ready. Currently they are sprung into place with strips of aluminum.
I also redid the bottom mounts to better line up with the factory holes and to clean up the existing damage (the door skins were rubbing on the previous rockers.
'Nuf chat, here are the pics (if anyone needs a better explanation, please ask)...
Now I need to finish the rear mounts of the skin and start some of the panel repairs. I need to fill the mirror holes, the latch and lock holes, and some random holes.

Also, after much debate, I decided not to use Sage & Doug's Koenig rockers.
I still want the 430 rockers, although everything so far has fallen through. I have one mor eplan up my sleeve before I go back to the drawing board.
We'll see what happens...

Those aren't 430 rockers. They are the integrated rockers offered by V8Archie for stock Fieros.
I'm hoping that if they are still available, I can modify them to look like 430's.

I'd highly recommend keeping the factory lock / key mechanisms - you'll always have a reliable way to unlock the door  . I've had too many keyless enrtry systems fail to unlock the door on occasion ...[This message has been edited by PaulJK (edited 06-14-2014).]
