Your gaps look pretty good. Your door looks a tad high at the front. I would adjust it down with the hinge bolts inside the door. You could also bring it slightly forward and split the difference so to speak.
I am blading paint off my 79 now and the gaps are almost identical to yours. Even your fender to door clearance on the Y-axis does just like mine.
I have not removed the doors and rebuilt the hinges. I’m hoping I can adjust it so the gaps are at least visually consistent without having to do a bunch of body work.
since that step is likely down the road a piece, I’ll just choose to live in my fog of happy ignorance.
Best of luck as you progress.
I slid a spacer into the gap and slopped loose mat fibers with resin in the gap remaining. Then I wrapped sand paper on a spacer-stick and sanded it.If the stick fit -the gap was the same. You might need a stick that only has paper on one side, to sand only one side of the gap.
Use a non stick spacer or wrap something like a paint stick with wax paper for the resin mix.
Finish it by very slightly breaking the edge, it shouldn't have a corner.
At the stage your at its easy to get the gap exactly what you want. This of course ruins originality since it should look bad for originally.
This was incredibly easy to do.
