Re: adjusting doors

It's for a 67-72 but I'm sure it's the same concept

Re: adjusting doors

wooden paint sticks are great for setting gaps on most cars trucks. but do keep in mind these are not the best built in the world so you may find one part needs to be tighter to open up another so everything clears. also. take your time. alot of it. do one and only one then take a brake i have spent all day trying to get the gap right on my fathers chevelle. just to find out that it was a bad door(repop). good luck
