Over the past few years I replaced the floor and the trunk floor in my 1962 Lark hardtop. Despite my attempts at "measure twice, cut once" I tweeked something enough that the doors don't fit as good as they should, for example the drivers door top front is 1/4 of an inch too far forward while the bottom of the door is parallel to the rocker but I will concede that I may be off when I fixed the mounts for the ends of the batwings. Before I began all the rust replacement the doors fit better, or as well as they could with the front floor sheet metal being like swiss cheese and the lower cowl also having rust problems.
Short of getting out my cut off wheel and perhaps cutting when I don't need to...
Can I square up the body as much as possible by replacing the rubber shims between the body and the frame, SI sells replacements in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch.
Any suggestions are welcome, It's hard to drive a car when the doors wont shut properly
