The rear upper part of door needs to go inward, but the pictures don't show that the lower rear of the door does not need to go in, the body line is already in too far..
Almost like the door is twisted? but I don't think I could have twisted the door with what I did with the skin..
This is where I wish I had an experienced extra hand.... Am I going to have to shim the lower fender out to make this happen?

In the old days, a factory body man would strategically locate a wood block between the door and the door frame then give the door a shove or two to help remove some of the twist. Obviously you want to push where you have some structural strength and not on an unsupported area that can cave in. Once you have the door lined up halfway decent, you can tinker with shims and hinge adjustments for the rest.
