What timing! Yesterday I just finished reading the historical ford barn forums on this very topic. I was ambivalent on how to proceed but I think I am persuaded by these posts today ....so "thankyou!" I hope I am not derailing this thread with my first post. Please ignore me if I am violating...

the 68C does have these turnbuckles. The driver side door was rubbing the paint from the dovetail mechanism on the doorpost (see pic above). I tightened the turnbuckle on this side to create clearance necessary to take care of this months ago...door slamming persisted. The passenger side...
