    I did the same thing Hobby Racer did, measured in 2 or 2.5 inches in the front of the door then ran a tape line to the back of the door and cut. What was a little tricky was getting was the bottom of the door right. Masking tape is your friend and measure and eyeball a few times before cutting.
    I had to notch the top of the door a little to clearance the forward down tube and have a nice clean fit.
    I can take some photo's tonight of the finished product, let me know if you are looking for anything in particular. The first door I think I started by taking an inch on the first cur then 1.5 and so on. My concern was a big ugly gap at the back of the door and 1/4 panel. With the amount I moved the front of the door in the rear gap is more than acceptable at least to me.
