I just finished putting my '37 2dr sedan body on a redone frame with modern suspension. After spending 1/2 a day getting all the body bolts in, I snugged up the bolts and to my surprise, the doors were hanging down about an inch at the back. There are body to frame mounts even with the hinges and I've been told that I needed to shim them up, which in turn moves the upper portion of the cowl forward and in turn square the doors up in the opening. The door gap at the hinges looked good, so I started shimming, measuring, adding more shims, measuring, and sure enough the back of the doors moved upwards.
What's bothering me is that it appears I may have to shim more than an inch. What am I doing wrong?
