Thank you and I am been trying to get out to the car every chance I can even if it's only for an hour. I think it Mr Steilow that said an hour here or there is still progress.

On a side note make sure you do the top hinge first. I learned that the hard way when I went over to the drivers side. What I should have done was replace the bushing on the top and check the door alignment and I needed to re-adjust this is when you do it. I did the bottom first on the drivers side and well it went south really fast or closer to the earth. So far south I couldn't even shut the door. I eventually walked away and called Larry (Body Guy) and he laughed at me and said well son you screwed up. Replace the top, gently try to close the door and if doesn't line up lift up or lower the door and try to get it the top hinge set. Then you do the bottom hinge and it will be much easier.

Lesson Learned !!!!
