I have cut up several A body cars and one rusty Satellite station wagon. I'm pretty sure that every hinge that I saw had some manner of body caulking/Dum-Dum between it and the A pillar.
I never tried to adjust them. I assumed that they were not adjustable. This is good to know though, it may...
Come on, Runner....Steve did nothing wrong.
Like him or not, Steve just tries to stoke conversation on the forum. I see nothing coming from Steve that is inflammatory or controversial.
The bolts attaching the hinge to the body have fore & aft adjustment along with Up & down adjustment at the back end of the door..... The bolts are 3/8", the openings for the bolts are about 3/4" square..

Hmm....The right door has not been off the car since I bought it, yet it seems to sit too close to the right quarter.

both my hood to fender gaps and trunk lid to quarter gaps are 3/16

on a car without a cowl panel or a header panel, such as a Challenger......... you have unlimited space in which to place the hood, so they are much easier to set up
I know we talked after this happened. Glad to see you're going to get on it. I've been very lucky. Side ways once at the 660. And once thru trans fluid at the shut down. It all happens so quick.

Going to be changing the coil pickup on my 70 RR, planning to do it in the car, do I need to get to TDC before I pull the reluctor off or is there no chance of anything getting off? Thanks, wire on the outside of dizzy got melted unfortunately and can’t be salvaged. The motor is a stock 1978 440
