My First Build Thread, and a long time comin' Options

So...technically I started this restoration a month ago, but now it has a thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A little history...This was my first car. I picked it up for $1200 back in high school and had it towed home with mice in the glove box and hoses going to no where in the engine compartment! My dad and I had it up and running off and on for three years before I shipped off to southern California for college. It has sat in the 'rents driveway for 5 years now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) waiting for the restoration that it deserves

Well...now that I'm edumacated and have a "real" job (and also have moved back to Northern California) my pockets are slightly deeper than in high school and the build has commenced!



So far I have stripped it to a tub, built me a rotisserie and washed off about 30 years of road grime and PO molestation. Along the way I even made a new friend! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Some pics of the passenger door open and closed:

Notice how when the door is open it sags below the body line, but once closed things line up decently well. So, the problem I now have is that:

1) The passenger door sags when open,
2) The drivers side rear door gap is close to non-existent,
3) the passenger side rear door gap seems to be too wide now,
4) The passenger side front gap seems ok when the door is open, but once closed the door is lifted and the gap starts smaller at the top and widens at the bottom.

I'm really not sure where to go from here. All of the measurements I do seem to identical from passenger side to driver's side, but there is this huge difference in how the doors are fitting! Anyone in the Sacramento area good at this sorta thing?
