Door Alignment
I think this would apply to all our old Fords. In my case I am trying to align the doors on a 37 pickup. They both sag so that the door latch and dovetail don't line up. They are low about a quarter inch. The hinges are not worn and are tight. Can I heat the lower hinge and bend it back to raise the door, or is shimming the hinge the only way?

Re: Door Alignment
The structure behind the doors' lower hinge may be the culprit. Check out this site...
