The old school body men knew a lot of neat tricks. Learned a new one (on me anyway) a while back. I put new cab mounts on Otis then took the truck to a old school body man to address the hood, front bumper, gaps, doors etc.

The re-pop passenger door needed to go forward a slight bit at the top, but both hinges were already hard (no shims) to the front of the door hinge mounting surface and the A pillar mounting surface.
He took a heavy leather welding glove rolled it up like a burrito the short way, then centered it in the top hinge in the open position between the hinge leaf's. He then closed it on the glove and springing the door until he reached the desired collapse rearward moving the door hinge mounting surface slightly rearward.

I think he had done this before... because about 2 springs on the door and it was perfect.
