The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Doors panel barn door?

how much adjustment is there or should there be on 53 rear barn doors. i have 1/4" at top between doors maybe a little more than 3/8" at bottom between between the two doors. d.s. door gap looks fine around body lines. p.s. looks correct at top side, but has 1/32"at bottom body side.the hinge mount look like 1/32" in any direction adjustment may be possible. i guess drillin grinding bfg might be the necessary correction. any thoughts? thanks tom

When I lined up the doors on my panel I was having a very difficult time. There was no way to do it. My gaps were way out all over the place. After lots of looking and measuring I discovered that the van was bent over to the drivers side on top. Like I'm talking the whole body was crooked. I had to take it to a body shop and put it on a frame straighting machine and have them hook on near the top of the rear door and give it a pull back to the passenger side. After that the doors fit perfactly.

There is no "easy" adjustments, as on side doors (and, adjusting them seems a feat of magic).

highwayman has the answer. And, do it with all parts in place, ready to paint, but before painting.
