Driver door problems

I have a big problem with my drivers door, I can't seem to get it lined up right. First thing I noticed it was sagging so I bought a set of pins and bushings. Replaced both top and bottom and tried to align. I can get the in and out on the door but it still sags in the front mainly (closest to the fender). Fender is off as well so I can adjust easily.Whats going on here? I need to spray the last coats of high build to do the final blocking in 400, but I need this right to have sharp lined up body lines. Heres a pic to show you what I have thus far.

Thanks, Dusty

Have you tried to loosen the bolts on the inside of the car and moving the door ?
 
What do you mean by "it's sagging in the front"? And how do you know with the fender off?
Do you have the rear of the door lined up good with the rear 1/4?
Is the lower edge in good alignment and a uniform gap with the rocker panel?
If the last two questions are yes, you need to adjust the fender.
Can you give us some closer pics?

That does not look to bad for the production tolerances of the time. I would start ajusting the fender. Should be able to get it a little better.
 
The quarter panel doesn't move. If you get a good line there you may need to move the fender. Then the lines around the hood come into play. Have fun.

x2 looks to me adding shims to the front top of the fender that would tilt the bottom out some,you would have to play with your hood also.
