Re: Drivers Door Adjustment? Hinge?
UPDATE!
Actully I did today, nothing great but it works and doesn't rub anymore. The real and best fix would me to get new hinges since there not rebuildable. I'll probably end up doing this, for now though, my current fix is working excellent. And I didn't have to remove the front fender.
All I did. I took my cherry picker, used a nylon strap, rolled down my window, tied the strap on my door frame and snugged it up. Loosened (not remove) the two lower bolts for the lower hinge on the door side. Applied very minimal pressure on the cherry picker, I inserted a 1/16" fender shim (smallest on hand) on the lower most bolt and tightened her down. After checking and making sure the door had perfect fender clearence, I re-adjusting the stricker on the door post, everything fits, lines up, and works great!
I have a whole bunch of fender shims from various body projects in the past so it didn't cost me nothing but a little time. Fender shims are dirt cheap though, a few bucks at OReillys will buy you a whole box full of them with various sizes. And there handy to have when aligning body panels, especially on an old school car. The cherry picker you don't need either, but since I have one handy, I could do it by myself with ease. I'd recommend having a hand there when you start placing in shims to lift up the door for you.
Hope this helps out someone...
