Thank you all for the excellent comments. I have gotten the doors to lay up against the rear quarter panels perfectly. I would not make any changes in the width between the door pillars and mess up the fit to the quarter panels. The distance I have to the outer surfaces of the pillars is 51 3/8 in. I would guess that when I restore the top bow assembly, I should keep this door pillar dimension in mind with the top in the up and the down position. It is amazing to me that I am that close to a factory drawing without having considered it up to now. Thanks again, Ed
