Door alignment issues

Tape paint sticks to the body at the lower corners and the back corners. You may need to double them up. Set the door in place with hinges loose and no strikers.

When you are happy with the location tighten the hinges holding them firmly against the door and body. Two people are needed for this it's a lot easier. This is done with the fenders off.

Once the doors are on and tightened in place after some final adjustments . Then you can install the hood using a string line off the back of the door making the measurement the same on both sides at the front and rear of hood. Then install the fenders.

I had problems with the Duster below. I found the two doors were different lengths from new.I tried to make the gaps the same and thought it was the opening. My son found the door was short on the back lip on the passenger side. On that side the gaps are wider.

That said, measure your doors. The fenders need to be square with the front of the hood. so placement of the doors is critical for all panels to align correctly.

Some fall right into place. Some take a little finesse. This works for me on body reassembly. Have fun it get frustrating on some A-bodies 67-76 due to the straight lines involved. I always block sand and point the lines after the panels are installed.
