RE: {Chrysler 300} Question about restoration and doors alignment

I imagine that correct alignment could be achieved by the right adjustment. But my concern is that there may be excessive body filler, which may have created this situation. When you were down there, did you check the panels with a small magnet, like a refrigerator magnet ?

Hood letters: Are the holes for the letters still there, or did they get covered over with body filler ?

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Question about restoration and doors alignment

Hello Chrysler Group:

I'm looking at a 1959 Chrysler 300 E Convertible 

for purchase (I just completed an inspection and appraisal)

and it seems both passenger and

driver doors are showing significant misalignment.

It has a body on restoration, repaint, re chrome done in 2014.

Whoever did the work also did not replace the 

hood nose letters as there is simply nothing there.

Is it likely when the repaint was done they removed

doors but did not reinstall correctly?

How easy is this to correct?

I'm questioning the quality of the restoration with those two

issues?

I would appreciate any advice or thoughts from the wisdom

within this group.

Here is the link to the vehicle I am considering:

Thanks
