So I Have my 3rd Gen down for paint. I took the door and fenders off for repair. So question is what is "Prime" do I rig the doors to the rear fender then the front fenders to the doors? or rig the front fenders to the hood and rig the doors to the front fenders?

Get the gaps right between the body and doors first.  Fenders and hood are adjusted next.  You'll need to set fender to door gap correctly then adjust the hood to fender gap.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Copy oK that makes sense. Sorry I see I asked this before in another post

Some times you may have to cut away metal or Weld to add metal to make gaps perfect. LEON.
