Question
The passenger door on my 1970 elcamino rides to high at the front, it does not match the fender crease or crome at the front of the door, it does ride at the right spot at the back of the door (door handle), can it be adjusted? Thank you.
The front fender needs adjusted if the door matches up well to the permanently welded body panels. Or, the cabin needs a bushing replaced under the cowl because of age or collapse. It's going to be abig job, and may require you to tweak the adjustments of the entire nose assembly. You change one thing, another goes out of allignment. It's the nature of the beast. Bill
