Default Door alignment 1930 Tudor Model A

Hi, I been searching to find out how to align the doors on my 30 Tudor Model A. And this is what I came up with. I got a gap of around 3/8 inch at the bottom rear of both doors. Everything else is ok. When people would tell me "your doors open", I would reply "That's the way they made em back then", Till I seen close up a 1928 Model A. I realized I have a problem.

What I am going to is pull the bolts out for the cross member, then cut the cross member then push the sides of my body out to meet the doors. Then re-weld it then re-attach the bolts.

Any advice will be much appreciated, I might make a video and post on youtube while doing it, I got a vacation coming up in a week.
