I was going to adjust the front door pins up a little to get the doors to align with the front fenders. But they are already at the max height. It looks like the floating nut plate is maxed up since it won't slide any higher. I guess there is not an easy fix for this.

Adjust the strikers to make the doors close properly. Do not adjust them for cosmetic issues. You will likely not get the result you want and the doors will not close as well as they once did.

Look into adjusting the fender, there are shims you can add and remove.

I think my only option is to drop the fenders by removing shims. But then I will need to adjust the hood to close tigher.

Looks like I have 3 washers under the fender lip. I guess I have to find the other mounting bolts and try to drop the fender. Probably only need to remove one washer under a few bolts. The front lines up good as is.
