1930 Century S Door alignment Question

Hi. The work on my 30 Century S continues. This was a frame off restoration and We almost have the body back together, but are having issues with door alignment as you can see in the pictures. We have had the doors and center post on and off a number of times trying to figure out where the issues are and this is the closest we have come to correct alignment. The top of the doors look to be about right, but the bottom has a wider gap that we can't seem to take out. Can someone offer suggestions for final alignment?

thanks

david

Here is a schematic of the wood & metal in your body. You will need to shim between the wood & the frame to get the doors parallel when they are in the closed position. They will also need to be level with each other , top & bottom. This is all done by placing shims in different locations. Its a trial & see operation. Good luck.
