"EVERY A body has this problem"

-
Granted, my quarter was off when I did mine, but it could be done with quarter on. I backed my repair with a 4sq electrical cover plate w/a knockout. Can't recall if it was 1/2 or 3/4 K-O. If the striker hole is 7/8", that equals 1/2" knockout, 1 1/8 = 3/4.
 
I've had my '69 since '80 and both were repaired at some point before I owned it.

Probably some body twist to go along with it.
 
Mine needs this repair only on the drivers side. Door was sagging when I bought the car so I'm guessing that was the cause
 
This is the fix I was left with when I purchased my Dart. Not worried to much about it really. That guy on *ast & *oud said he will drop by and give me a price on a full restore on the door jam. LOL..............

Mine looks identical to that, but painted. lol. I also have to lift up on the door to get it to open some what smooth. I have a new set of hinges and will be fixing this with the supplied part.
 
On mine it has been cut out and a new section welded in. It had some kind of fiberglass/bondo on it when I stripped the body down for paint. I figured it was the time to fix it right.
