Hi Billy,

Welcome to the group. I've had my car for 27 years, 22 since it was rebuilt
at the factory following a fire in 1978. The original car had body panels
that fit almost perfectly but not the rebuilt one. I've fiddled around with
the doors over the years to try and get them to fit properly, never mind
perfectly, but it has been a losing battle so far. I adjusted, by rewelding,
the hinge brackets on the drivers door so that the leading edge was flush as
opposed to 1/4" proud but I still couldn't get the lower rear to fit flush
with the body. If I had more time, I'm sure I could make all the necessary
adjustments but I'd rather be driving than fiddling. I've seen cars with
very well-fitting panels and others a lot worse than mine. I guess it comes
down to how fussy you are and the law of diminishing returns.

Regards,

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Wooden Chassis Doors


Hi all,
        I have just become an owner of a 1968 wooden chassis 1600 cc 
here in the UK. The car is fine except for one item - the doors do 
not fit flush at the lower rear - has anyone had similar problems and 
if so is there a fix.

   Thanks 

    Billy
