Thanks for your input Iceberg. I checked the welds and they seem to be ok. My buddy who has a restoration business suggested I try the procedure outlined in the (please excuse my language!) Ford service manual for rear panel truck doors. Believe it or not, they suggest using 2 x 4 "shims" or wedges to be placed in the hinge as you slowly shut the door and carefully push on it to bend the hinge in small increments. I can't try that until I elongate the holes on the body to raise the door up on the side sill. I cant do that until it gets back up to the low 30's in temp as it's too cold to wrench in my garages. I'll keep everyone posted.
