Carl... I did what you and Kevin suggested on the passenger side door. It worked out well. The door, at the front beltline is still slightly indented relative to the beltline on the front of the cab but the technique has been validated to work. I just need to elongate a little more. To summarize (pictures accompanying), On the upper hinge, we first shaved (slightly), the outer edge of the decorative hinge plate to enable the entire structure to move more outward. Next, we elongated the inner edges of the 3 bolt holes on the hinge to allow the entire hinge to slde outward when bolted onto the hinger pillar.
On the lower hinge, we did essentially the opposite to allow that lower hinge to slide more inward when bolted to the hinge pillar... that is, we shaved the inner edge of the decorative plate and the outer edges of the 3 bolt holes.
At this point, I am OK with the doors as they are. Please know that I intend to turn the cab over to a pro (at some point) for final adjustments, gap improvement and epoxy primer.
As always, I am thankful for the guidance and advice from my Stovebolt friends.
