Oh i am aware of that wirh these old cars but a 1/2" gap at the top and hitting the quarter at the bottom?!? Come on man!! Theres sloppy workmanship, then theres WTF.
I trimmed the bottom of the door back a bit to even it out a bit and get the door to move back, then the hinges hit the end of their adjustment, and i had to grind the slots in the hinges, and in the body longer to move it back a little more. I'd be ok with 1/8" up to even close to 1/4" on a door gap. But 1/2" at the top and touching on the bottom.
