FWIW, it's been 3 years since the restoration, and I developed a small rattle in the driver's door latch area. I noticed the gap at the rear of the door was not parallel anymore and was wider at the top. I loosened the rear body mount on the driver's side as well as the one in front of it by the filler neck of the fuel tank. I added a 1/4" shim in both and tightened it back up. This was enough to get rid of the wide gap as well as the rattle by the latch.
