Hi Robert,
I don't profess to be a n expert in this field, but one piece of advice
which has always served me well is as follows.
Before installing the hinges, strikers or door seals offer the door up to
the opening and check that it does indeed fit the aperture.
When I do this very often I find that the aperture, or the door, is twisted
and when that is the case no amount of adjusting of hinges or strikers will
make things right.

Subject: Fitting the doors
I am finishing the restoration of a 56 100 and am having a hard time getting
the doors to close completely.
The gaps are great and without the door strikers in place, the doors are
perfect. The rear(back) edge of the driver door sticks out about 1/4 inch
when
the door is closed. The passenger door closes completely but the bottom
edge of
the door is sticking out from the sill about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch.
Does this type of adjustment have to do with the hinges? I have adjusted the
door strikers all I can.
If this is a hinge adjustment issue, can someone explain it to me in simple
terms?
I am tired of people telling me that my doors are open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
Robert Phillips
