60 Door adjustment

[Larry Poropat]

I am forced to get my car to the painter before I have had a chance to fit the doors. I want to tighten the body bolts before I move the car. I might be able to get close if I can get some measurements.
With doors that fit good, how much gap in front, rear and bottom.
What is the measurement of the door opening at the top of the door?
Thanks

Re: 60 Door adjustment

Larry, The following measurements are from a 62 with what I believe to be a no hit body that has never been off the frame. Door fit is excellent.

The gap all around measures .12 to .15" and is perhaps a little closer on the average at the rear than at the front, particularily at the top. With the door open, measuring the outer flanges of the body just above the top hings, measurement is 37". This is with one end of the tape just above the hinga and the other end near the bottom of the fuel door. Tape as perpendicular as could get it. Hope this is what you need. If not, email me and I will try to get other measurements.
