need advice on aligning my door

[19mike69]

when i bought my 69 chevy,i noticed that on the drivers door where it bolts to the hinge there was a washer on each bolt on the top hinge.The washers were in between the hinge and the door,hence pushing the actual spot where the door will be towards the jam on the latch side.But there were no washers on the bottom,and to tell you the truth it was fairly straight.I dont even know why it was like this to begin with.
Well,after messing with it today i cannot get it figured out.I tried to put washers on both top and bottom hinges to even it out but now it is too far towards the latch side of the jam.But if you take the washers out completely it is too far forward,does anybody know why it is like this?
Was there some sort of spacer in there to begin with?Im wondering if i will just have to go with a thinner washer because the ones im using are pretty thick
