One side of my car has a piantstick size gap...door to quarter...and the other side has a two paintstick gap (door to quarter). Doors and quarters are original to the car and the hinges are bonded on with no adjustment.
I had a 74 that was off by a good amount. Found out the front sub frame was not even close to be lined up! And from what Ive seen alot of them are off!
my 69 is just like yours the drivers side lines up perfect and the pass side looks just like yours I tries so hard to get it better oh well it is what it is kinda like what the GM employees said lol

Weren't there different plants that assembled nova's?
different plants yes but the same ( i hate to say it ) kind of workers. and no care of quality control, i guess this kind of stuff opened the door for Toyota and Honda to come on in and take over.

Nahhh these were built 40+ years ago and a Nova is not a top end car. Turn em out fast and cleanish. I dont see very many 40 year old hondas or toyotas driving around.
