After nearly 4 years I’m so close to getting this thing on the road. 47 Chevy loadmaster 2 ton. I thought for sure I’d be driving it by now but these doors are killing me. I cannot get them adjusted right. Ives ordered new strike plates as grandpa apparently did some welding on the old ones and I think it’s causing me issues. My questions should I get new hinges? Mine has some play. Meaning they are bolted in and I can grab the arms and they move up and down a bit. And it feels like my door needs to be higher to match up right with the strike plate. Should there be any up and down play?
Next the hood. It shuts and lines up pretty good except it needs to drop down about 3/4” towards the cowl. If I could make it drop the fenders would look really good. Again it’s the back of the hood closest to the windshield that needs to drop. Adding a pic. Any suggestions? I’m so eager to get it licensed and take it for a real drive.
