well i did some more work on them today.this one is pretty much finished i just have to give it a final sanding ,maybe a thin coat of bondo to clean up some areas.then paint.

and to give you a better idea of how low i cut it .the ledge is about an inch higher than were the armrest landed before.

Looks good, but I would cut the window frame off. It doesn't really add much to the structure and only adds weight to the door (unless your putting the window back in...). I am building a set as well and thats the first thing I did. I cut it off just above the side mirror mount so I can mount a factory mirror back on.
