Herb,

On the restos I have done I assembled the two parts of the inner together (using plug welds) first.  Then these are put into position relative to the outriggers and the rear and front fender wells.  Once in then I added the outer sills or rockers.  I cannot imagine how the rockers could be properly positioned without the inners in and the doors temporarily hung.
