OK. Got the twists out of both doors. Right side took some serious effort. Left side one pull.

Was going to use a chain bolted to the bottom of the car via seat belt bolt hole and rear suspension bolt hole. But... Dustin mentioned ratchet straps. Really didn’t want to use a chain as the underside is already detailed and didn’t want to scratch it.

I pulled out one of the giant ratchet straps, suitable for towing trucks. Wrapped it all the way around the floors with both doors open. Adjusted it just right for slack, which took a little trial and error.. Placed a 2x4 against the bottom of the door and used a 6 foot 2.x6 turned sideways for the lever. Placed a broken axe handle in the top of the door jamb. Took about 10 good hard pulls on the left side, but she lines up perfectly now. Took only one on the right side. We (my fabulous supportive wife and I) were able to put so much leverage on it that we had to pull hard on the top of the door to keep from picking up the right side of the car.

Took the camera out to take a pic of the procedure, but darn thing said the card was not readable. Crap.

Now I have to go back out with the long board and see how bad I distorted the bottom of the door if any. Keeping my fingers crossed
