Will,
It's been a while but as I remember I used an aluminum spacer between
the bottom hinge and the fuselage. So it would set right even with the
fuselage I taped the spaces to the bottom hinge around the edges only.
The applied a small amount of redux mixed with a bit of flox to the
area on the fuselage where the spacer would rest. Make sure you have
release tape anywhere the goo might touch. The idea was to use the
mixture as a way see that the door & hinges would be flush when
closed. You would want to trial fit everything with the spacer taped
to the hinge first. If the door is proud of the fuselage top then
remove some of the spacer with a grinder then re fit. If your door is
low when fitted then you can add some more redux flox mixture. I
remember having to sand just a small amount of the door top to come
out exactly to the fuselage top but at least you know the hinges fit
perfectly even this way.
Hope this helps,

get between rainy cold days. Would someone tell Al to get the global
warming turned back on?
