Default Re: '51 door gap

If the gap is too tight. (can't really tell by picture)
On the door post side of the hinge, on the inboard screws place thin washers or 'U' shims between the hinge and the post.
This moves the hinge point forward.
The other way requires some massaging with a sledge hammer.
