Default Shim Problem??

I just put a '32 Brookville roadster body on a stock original '32 chassis. All the holes lines up just fine, I have alignment problems. The LH door is sucked in at the bottom and is misaligned at the top, the RH door is bulging out at the bottom. I know this needs to be shimmed but which bolts should I start with??

shim the bolt across from the front of the door. As you pull down on the front feet at the cowl panel you will see the door alignment change. Try a little at a time. Once read where some guys say it can take two to three days to get the alignment like they want it.
