1965 meets 2019, who needs cigar lighters these days? Much better to have USB chargers.

66 Olds Chassis Service manual says aim for 1/32 of interference between the body and door wedges. My 98 frame bends going over some bumps. These seem to help.

Gaps look o.k. to me, but there's surely room for improvment by a professional.

The left is a '66 Olds Big Car original hinge. I don't know what the right ones are. Do you?

Hinge on the right is reputed to be a '65 Big Olds, but I'm not convinced. If you know what it is and can use it, please get in touch.

Modifying a strato bucket to lower sitting height. Removing carefully selected sections of steel and avoid weakening spot welds.
