I think im geting closer...the book says shim as required at the core mount.
and the trick to the gap is having the fender proud of the door by about a MM
Also welding a bead on the fender edge to decrease gap helps in some spots.
As for hinges ...i rebuilt em with new pins and bushings...no play at all
My idea is to be able to paint doors and fenders off the car and have them be
repeatable when going back on.
we shall see how that works out.

When you get the doors where you want them, from 1/8" holes through the hinge and body.
