Help fitting a c3 door

Hey everyone im new to the fourms. Anyway, I recently purchased a beat up 1974 corvette with intensions of restoring it. I bought some cheap, but decent doors because the shells and skins were shot, so after i shimed up the hinges and noticed that the front of one of the doors was fine, but the rear was completely tweaked. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to tweak the shells back?

Thanks

A picture would help. Tweaked is a rather broad term.

If your door shells are empty of glass and latches and such, the door is going to sit higher at the rear until you load it.

The rear bottom half of the door was sticking outward away from the car, but with some help we managed to bend the corner of the door. Now the door looks to fit much better. Looked like the door shell might of been damaged and had the skin rebonded on.

Thanks
