Thanks! It only took most of the day and 3/4 of a gallon of body filler....most of which wound up on the floor after hours of sanding. Good learning experience I suppose!

Prior to removing the doors, I drilled a small hole thru the hinges, the body and the backing plates to make re-assembly and alignment easier. It worked very well, I was able to re-install the doors by myself with the help of a floor jack and a couple of drill bits. I tightened them down and they shut properly on the first try!

Body filler is tricky.
Put it on wider than you think it needs. Don't try to get it"flat" at first. Stop with the 80 grit when it looks close. Shoot it with some rattle can primer then switch to finer grade paper. The grey primer will help you see where it's low. Don't be lazy.. Put down the D.A. and grab the soft block.
The hardest part of filler isn't putting it on... It's NOT taking too much off..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
