Hey,
For some reason my door to fender gap seems to have gotten smaller on my 70 Charger RT.
Is there an easy way to adjust the gap wider with both the fender and door already installed...the grille,front valence and bumper are also on.

With the door all the way open, loosen the bolts on the hinge to the A pillar and slide it back towards the quarter panel.  You will need 2 people to do this.  Also, it would be a good idea to tape up the edges of the fender and door with some 3M green masking tape.  If I recall when I did my car, 2 of the 4 bolts have to be accessed from behind the kick panel so you will need to remove those also.
