Default Door hinge adjustment question

Anyone have any advice/info on adjusting my driver's door? It opens fine, but hangs a little when it hits the striker...as if it needs to come up about and 1/8" or so. It still closes, but requires a little more push than the passenger which door shuts perfectly. Thanks in advance my Vette brothas.

Without a jig to support the door the job is a 2 person job.

If it's like any other GM in the last 50 years, the hinge will need rebushing, they wear out and oblong the hole letting the door sag. They sell the kits for this at most body shop supply houses.
