: I am trying to finish up repair on my '30 roadster doors.
: My car was pretty rough when I started, so the doors got new skins, latches and hinges.I worked as carefully as my skill allowed, knowing that a good door fit would be a challenge.
: Well, my doors did not fit very well and I have done a weeks worth of pushing, pulling and making the adjustments obvious to me.
: My question basically is, does it take professionl body working skills to do the tricks needed to make this work?
: The main problem area is where the latch hits the stricker.It has the right elevation, but the strickers a too far aft to
: hit the latch just right.Are shims under the strickers something to consider?Any advise that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.
