Rick,
What does your gap look like to the rocker to door? When I adjust a car I set
door to rocker first, then door to rear quarter. Once this is done you set
everything else to the door. Do you have a bunch of shims between the upper
fender mount and the firewall? Are the bushings under the radiator support
gone? Something is way out of whack.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Fender-Door Gap Adjustment
I'm finally getting round to try to even out the door to fender gap on my
72 elky. Both sides are equally bad, a good gap at the bottom & then widen
out significantly at the top. I believe that the doors are hung straight
because the door to rear quarter panels have an even gap. Pictures are at
link below.

It appears to me that the same adjustment is out of whack on both sides, but
which one? I've never messed with the panels so want to get some advice
before I loosen the fenders.
Is it possible that frame sag is pulling the front of both fenders in? The
body & core support bushings were replaced with poly about 10 years ago.
Honestly I don't remember if I had the problem before it was painted (years ago
also). Painter did take the fenders & doors offback then.
thank you.
