Before fittiing the doors be sure the frame is accurate and not twisted, The hood, radiator, fenders etc should have been test fit.

Another option is to fit the door to the opening with shims, wedges, clamps, etc. Then glue the hinges to the body using "bondo". Remove hinge pins and take the door off leaving the hinge half on the body. Use the hinge as a guide to drill new holes. Knock the hinges off and clean up the mess.
