body line

I bought a door off of Craigslist and after I got the door hung and all lined up the body line was totally off. The edge of the door was more rounder then the body line on my 70 camaro and about 1/2 an inch lower. Was the body line ever changed?

Dont think a firebird door will even close on your car.
