I've searched and read until my eyes are crossed and blurry and my brain scrambled. There is an abundance of info on body and door alignment but can Marco's roadster door alignment instructions be applicable to a non roadster body? It looks logical. My door problem is on a Deluxe Delivery. I only need 1/4 of an inch rise in the latch end of the drivers door but concerned that the small amount of rise on the A pillar might torque the top and I'll end up with a nightmare. It's like tossing a pebble into the lake and as it travels the waves widens.

Sadly we recently lost our "go to" guy unexpectedly so until another in the club steps up to help the membership I'll be relying on the Barn for help.
