Working on the right door. This is after bending the hinges in the press so they are pretty close to closing flat together.
I decided that the rocker rail below the door was just too high at the front. So I removed it and cut the notch in the latch pillar about 1/4" lower down.
Then I had to take the belt sander and take off a bit more in a couple of places on the latch pillar.
Now the door closes more or less right.

I might go back and do that on the left side rocker rail.

Congratulations! Looking good.
Moving right along. I think getting the doors fit is definitely a milestone in tub building!
