I have a 1970 camaro with a driver's side door that hangs a little low. We replaced all the hinges, pins, etc. about a year ago. What do I have to do to get my a little higher from its current state so I don't have to slam the door to get it shut. Also, while its shut, it sags a little and looks like it's open. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

I would have a body repair shop look at it.

Is it flush at the fore and aft seams and just sagging?

Well, in that case, you could try shimming the hinge bolts on the door with washer or two. :2cents: I've seen over time when the hinges were bad the holes can become elongated, or the metal on the pilar or door stresses.
