    I need the door opening size for a 40 ford coupe, we picked one up at an auction last week and the PO cut out the firewall and rocker panels and didn't weld any bracing in

    Just above the lower hinge, outside edge to outside edge or from inside the jam front to back

    Don't weld it with forever welds. Wait until you get a door. You never know what size your door will be. Fit the opening to the door
