I have seen similar posts on getting the door gap correct but try as I might I am know where’s near solving the problem I have a 1/4 to 3/8 gap at the right front bottom of window and cowl,panel. I have tried enlarging the top hinge slots by 1/2 inc. Tried bending both top and bottom hinges but still no luck. These are Donor doors as the truck came with vented window 1951 doors and I wanted the correct 1950 doors. The 1951 doors fit fine. i am beginning to wonder if it is the door it self. I do not have the strikers in at all so I am sure I can lift the left side so the body line is correct. It is the unusual gap I have mentioned on the right side that is driving me to frustration. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
