Afternoon All:
I'm at the point that I can start hanging sheet metal on the TR but don't want to do that until the doors line up correctly. By dumb luck the driver side door is perfectly alligned but not so with the passenger door. It is off by perhaps 1/8 of an inch at the rear of the door. The front curved portion of the door is looking very good so I don't want to mess with the door. So where do I start?
I am about to make some basic assumptions so correct me if I'm wrong. The car should be sitting on a flat surface with the wheels on, correct? I can loosen and or remove the body bolts and shim it with body washers to correct the misallignment?
Is that the general procedure? If not, I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks, Tinkerman
