    Steve, I also have a "RodBod" bodied roadster. Although mine's still not painted, I don't see any place that shows signs that the door is hitting the door jam.

    I'd look closely at the door to body fit. Maybe it could use some shiming between the frame and body mount points?

    My door fit is perfect all the way around- gap is ideal & door sits perfectly flush w/ ajoining panels. It rubs at top of the door jam at the curve- like a 3/4" spot. I can try & take a pic tonight of the spot. I'm hessitant to adjust the door & throw the fit out of wack though. Are you installing something to your doors? I've seen people treat the gasket 2 ways. Some have applied to door, some to jam & most don't have anything (on roadsters). I'd prefer the door so it's not so obvious when the door is open.
