Question

I have a 63 convertible. Why is the bottom rear corners of the doors so far off from the pillers in front of the wheel wells? They curve in almost 3/8 of an inch.

They weren't perfect from factory. Mine were way off till I did some body work to even them out. Adjusting door hinges might help.

There is an open thread about two below yours titled "door alignment."

To me, they were barely acceptable from the factory. I spend many hours correctly fitting factory panels and setting the gaps before I pick up my primer gun.
