Drivers Door Fit Problem

[AJT '33]

AJT '33 thanks a bunch. I first added 3 washers to the bottom, that pulled the bottom in about half of what was needed.
Next I got a 1/2" chunk of aluminum that I put in at the very bottom (took washers out). That was just enough to have to front of the door fit the body evenly from the top to the bottom.

Hey Jim, you may want to release the rear plate and then loosen the two main brackets for the hinge, "twist" those two relative to each other a bit and you should be able to have much less front end shim. May be worth the try, I seem to remember having done that so as not to have too big a shim. You can then redrill two new locking holes for the back bracket.
