Door alignment issues

I bought new doors for Bertha (69 Jimmy). When I put everthing together without the latches there is about a 1/2" gap between the door and the jamb. When I put the latches and striker plate I put about 6-7 shims behind the plate and it still won't latch.

Should I take the door off and trim out the holes in the hinge that mount to the jamb, so I can slide the door back? any suggestions would be helpful..
