you can try to cross push this with a port- power you would push on the A post and the bottom of the back of the bottom of the door sill this will move the door belt line up but will move the door line so you may have to cut them to get a good air gap or fill up by adding welding filler rod not any filler bondo or glass it may chip off . some of this stuff just was only so good new.i did some 30A pickup doors that i had over 20+hours a door
not see if you can go strait up but if you could that may work making them better you get were you need and make sure you have good pin s in the door hinges with no slop you could go up on the cowl or drop the back of the car by working on the bushings by cutting them . the 2 by 4 is trying to do the same thing move the cowl if you use the 2by4 at the back of the door and sill or use the 2by4 and a floor jack at the back of the door by lifting with the jack as like cross pushing but your are moving the A post to with the port-power .like i said but you have more power with the port-power . you do not spring the hinge .to spring the hing can be done with a old rubber sand bock or small pine block and set in the hinge and slowy pushing on the dooor this will pull the door gap back and open it at the front of the door to the cowl if you do both. if you just do top top hinge it will drop the door down and bottom hing up .it may need more than one thing it may need a bit of every thing welding sprining the hings and i have move the hinges with heat pulling the door to the cowl. or take the hinges of the door and set the door up with a block of wood and hammer hit were the hing bolt to the door moving it back when you do this you want to set the edge on wood or some thing not to hurt the door when hitting the hinge mount with a hammer and when you get the belt line and then rework the are gaps . before you start working on the door take the door lach off so it will not pull down on the door so you can see were you need to go

Is the gap the same from hinge to hinge?(not along window) Is the latch side gap the same at top and bottom? It looks like it to me. Is the only gap mis-match along the top and bottom of the door, and rear of belt line? It looks that way to me. Or is it just me? If it is that way, then it's Not a hinge problem.
