    Are there any bodymen out there that can give me some tips or tricks on getting the gaps right on my door. I am guessing you just have to spend a lot of time loosening and tightening the bolts on the hinges.

    i find it easy for me to take the...inner fender liner...out
    ...set the door on 2 (1 on top of the other) paint sticks. close the door and reach in the wheelwell and tighten the hinge bolts....adjust from there...:yup:
    there is another way using a...phonebook....Mike (MAV) can explain that way better than i can....Terry and Earl were there also when it happened...i mean...demonstrated... to me...:shocked:
