Rob, it may be worth fitting the doors while you do some of the repair. My door jambs had a lot of lead in from the factory to correct for some sloppy metal work and poor fit. I removed most of the lead then cut-refit the door jambs to get the doors to fit a lot better. I don't want to inundate your thread with my pictures so here is a link:
