I’ll try to describe the problem

Now, when you open the doors, the leading edge of the doors hits the body before the doors are fully opened. Trying to fabricate new hinges that move the doors out further to be able to fully open them
When you say the doors hit the body, and what do you mean fully open? If you are using the FF hinges they are adjustable up and down and in and out. Has he tried shims? Mine can only open to between 60-75 degrees open with limiting straps. That's more than enough to get my fat ass in. Have you called Bruce and see what he recommends? Contact "Ivy Green" on this forum, he's building a "Bruce" roadster and see what he's done, Stacy is very helpful. Don't you DARE whimp out.
