The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors Excessively Small Door gap?

Last night I ended up unfastening the hinge pillar and moving it back a very small amount. After re-adjusting the door there is 1/16th to an 1/8th inch gap along the front and about 1/16+ in the rear gap. Its still close but think it is good enough to move forward with tacking down the inner and outer cowl panels. Oh, one interesting item I found when crawling underneath to clamp down the hinge pillar, I noticed the door was about 1/4 inch lower than the rocker panel bottom edge. The door is lifted high enough so the upper gap in the opening is small but the door still extends beyond the lower part of the rocker panel. Well it appears the rocker panel is a 1/4 in shorter than the original that I have on the drivers side, what a piece of crap! I only needed to replace the front 6 or 7 inches of the original but decided at the time to do the whole thing. Definitely going to pay more attention to the aftermarket parts in the future and only replace what is absolutely necessary.
