On my 69 road runner doors how much if any swoop is there when you lay a 48” straight edge along the mid section (front to back) mine seem to suggest the rear third starts to concave then flares back out at the back end of the door. Maybe it’s supposed to be straight and suffers from fat chicks closing it with their hips. So what you say?
 
There is a "swoop" because it transitions from the front fender bulge to the rear quarter panel bulge. Unfortunaly I have no photos that really highlight it
 
I would think it about has to be , it’s driving me crazy. I’m seeing the bottom of the door as straight and pretty much straight at the very top but seems to transition to a swoop the further you get to the middle.
 
If someone could lay a straight edge or string along theirs and tell me about how much that would be great.
 
I can say that the curve is normal, but can't offer any pictures at this time as my car is in storage. JMTC

Laying straight edge on mine, shows a slight swoop from about mirror location back, deepest point is close to 1/8 as shown. Both sides appear the same. Correct? I don't know, but to just look at them they appear straight, but not so on mine.
