Is there an easy way to adjust the gap wider with both the fender and door already installed...the grille,front valence and bumper are also on.

Quarter doesn't move so you start with the gaps of door there between door and quarter and door and rocker. When there perfect then you move to front fenders. If not done correctly you could end up with the hood not fitting right because one fender may be to far forward.
