plan C
The 60 pioneer I just got had sprung top hinge on drivers door.
A buddy told me how to fix it.
Maybe this is common knowledge, but in case it's not I felt I would share.
I have a 62 saratoga in my parts car collection. I always liked the 62 and bought this car to have parts on hand.
Anyhow the Saratoga had sprung drivers door so I went out and used my buddies plan on it. You can see how it was before and after. Took all of 5 minutes. If you look close you will see the 7/16 bolt. It goes in the U shape notches that the roller fits in to hold the door open.
With the bolt in the U notches I forced the door further open. I give it a steady push. Then closed the door enough to get the bolt out and closed the door to check for progress. It was coming but needed more so I put bolt back in and pushed the door open again. On the 4 th go round I got a door fitting real nice.
