how do you adjust you doors? my door on my 68 dodge coronet is sticking out a little, it needs to come in some so it does not stick out further out than the body

Looks like you need to pivot the door in on the bottom hinge, on the door side and not on the pillar side. May have to loosen the top a little so that it will come in. Probably will have to adjust the fender bottom once that is lined up, because it will bring that in as well.

You have some slop when the bolts are loose and you adjust the slop to get a good body line. Loosen, adjust, snug, check, repeat if necessary. Tim
