Re: Door alignment

Marston,
All joints are good tight glued joints. They are all original doors. Four door club sedan. No hinge play at all on any door. 1930.
David, Thanks for the tip. Seems to me logical that be done before any attempts at shimming. Correct?
I attach photos of the right front door which is typical. Very little gap near top hinge. Increasing gap as you go down or toward the back. (The rear bottom of the cowl has become detached from the stringer so it sticks out a bit. If pressed against the wood, it aligns with the plane of the door.)
Can't choose but wonder if the center post is shimmed too high because the gap at the top at the center post is at least 1/4" more than the gap at the front post, yet the gap between the front and rear door is even all the way to the bottom.
