If you made it according to the print it will not fit properly. The 3,75" dim needs to be approx 4,06", will have the dimension verified during this week.

Well done and I look forward to your Monday morning posts.
Good advice above. ^
2033 and it's closure piece are one of the the last two assemblies to fit because the final location will depend upon your door striker height so I would not worry about the precision 0.06" for now. (The door striker height depends upon your fibreglass fit )
I would treat this as a trial fit job for later on, before you box up the B-pillar.
We did the same thing.
Same 3.75" piece in 2009

I appreciate the advice guys, its a long build so things are bound to change as new information arises and I'm not afraid of remaking parts. Keep the advice coming.
You need to make a small cutout for the fuelcell flange on the rh one. Probably best to do it when assembling. Can put out the dimension for the cutout if you want it.
That would depend on if you are doing a road car with the battery in the left rear, or if your doing a race car or early prototype, that had fuel cell flanges on both of the sill tops?
Or have I miss understood the statement about the cut out?
I think the drawing is in GT40 Uncovered, if I remember correctly.

I'll do the cutout closer to assembly time , it's easier to cut out than put back. Dimensions for the cutout would be appreciated.
