Re: 1949 chevy truck door shims

There are some shims that go on the latch side, or at least on the 52 that I am working on there is. The hinge side is all slotted and what I did was to snug all the bolts down and then start gently prying the door using a 2x4 or some other piece of wood until they lined up the way I wanted them to and then went back and tightened the bolts. That was all done in the mock up stage and I haven't gotten to the final painted assembly yet.
