    Anyone have good advice for adjusting the alignment of the doors on a shoebox? Poorly aligned body panels drive me nuts. There doesn't appear to be any adjustment designed into the system.
    Thanks

    Strategically placed washers or shims between the hinge and door or door pillar have always done the trick for me.:)

    make sure your pins are tight then i usually bend the door to match the body, sometimes it takes some major "tweaking"
