Chilton,I will try the shim first and see where it gets me. at this stage of the game every fix or reassembly requires time and slow going,Less I mess things up.Tearing the car apart was easy and fast compared to making things fit back.This is where I see a lot of builders loose interest and then the car gets put up and stored.Ha

Super Wasp, It looks real good in a photo, but trust me my painting skills are lacking and my eyes missed much on some hail dents and dent repair,also I sprayed it with the $10.00 Harbor Freight spray gun. One stage paint Urethane paint . 70 Cadillac color. This body work and painting started in June of 2010.Never the less I need to get it on the road and can work on fine tuning the paint as time evolves.The color tends to change hues in sun light and shadow and is why I wanted this 70 GM paint that I remember from my younger days. soon in a few months hope to have you look it over for feed-back.

Tallent R,I noticed the manual mentioned this and was thinking the doors were factory adjusted one car at a time by hand, making this an issue one car to another and the cause of a replacement hinge not fitting ?

If not for folks like this I would have a very difficult time figuring out much of what needs be done. The information available from the factory manuals reads like a British comic book and leave much information unsaid. Only the people who have been there know after all these years.
