For the doors I found that your knee at bottom and pulling out the top as you tighten the bolts gives a lot of adjustment. Also I read on facebook where someone used a couple of pipe wrenches to twist the door metal for top to bottom alignment.

Thx Lewis. The wedges at the rear makes sense. Back when I did a '68 Triumph TR-250 they used wedges for the hood to center it. I guess you could buy larger wedges for a pick axe or sledge hammer to hold the head to the wood handle, grind them smooth and glue in place... or spot weld a 10-24 threaded stud to the back side and bolt in place? Time will tell on that part.

I now have the engine covers fitted and still need to cut the hood on the underside of the bulge (beltline). Once the front fender is fitted, I'll cut out the openings for the engine vents in the eng side covers.
