We have a shop that has worked on AD panel alignment for many years and here is our procedure. First remove every hinge and latch along with strikers, spring loaded hood prop arms, and anything else that fits between the hood or doors and the body. Now set each panel in place and see if it fits the hole.If it doesn't then there is core support shimming or cab shimming that needs to be done. If the doors and hood fit right then add ONE thing at a time and check for fit. If the hinges throw the alignment off then they are the problem. Ditto on latches, strikers, support arms, or anything else. You are no longer guessing but rather isolating the problem.
