there is very little to no room in the door opening for bending hinges. all early fords with the hinge riveted to the door align with cowl shims. i learned this when i was young working for a bodyman who had been at it since the late 30's. a little shim goes a long way. this how ford did it at their factory. another hint. if you door sticks out at thr bottom, you can cut the pot weld on the cross brace and twist the door to fit and reweld. almost every 35-40 i do needs this.
