Hey everyone, new member to the forum here. I just bought an 87 vette that I'm working on restoring back to it's original glory.

I ran into an issue though that I can't exactly seem to figure out. I had ordered new door panels, and all new parts for the doors (armrests, control plates, etc.). When I was putting the pieces together, it seemed like nothing would fit properly on the panel. The armrests seemed to float a little above the panel, and the control plate had unsightly gaps toward the front. I'm not exactly sure if these door panels are supposed to be cut up to make things fit or not, so if anyone does know, I'd be grateful.
