How would one go about fixing the minor little flex camaros/firebirds body tends to make on the panel spacing after time? Like my doors the crack is noticably smaller on the bottom and larger on the top, and the rear hatch the gap between the body of the car and the hatch is larger then new cars. I don't know what other stuff there is those 2 are ones that stick out to me but I'm a perfectionist somewhat.

There's some sorta way to adjust it with the hangars / latches / swingouts where the door meets the body.
As for the hood, it has some sorta support adjusters. More on that after I install mine this winter, lol.

if ur talking about the door crack of the back of the door its the door that needs adjusted. if its the front its probable the fenders that need adjusted. you could loosen some of the bolts or take em out and bend the tabs enough if u had to to adjust the fender right. then you might have to do the bumper if u take them completley off. the hatch you could alway check you rubber stoppers to see if there to tight or to loose. they screw and unscrew to go up and down.<a href=\"http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/onoiocoko\" target=\"_blank\">http://camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/onoiocoko</a> <br />\"there are three kinds of people - those who can count and those who can\'t\"Comment

Some pictures, for the door you can see at the top a pencil fits in without problem, the bottom no chance, I think that is a fender adjustment because the door spacing looks fine where it locks. As for the hatch I think the whole thing is like 1-2cm to far back, making the rear stick out a bit and making large gaps at the base of the hatch and top which has a pretty massive opening. How do I adjust those things?

As far as the doors go, you need to replace the door hinge bushings. The pin that goes through the door hinges also goes through so bushings. These bushing wear out and cause the doors to sag. Go to NAPA and get a door hinge bushing kit and that will fix the doors. As for the back hatch, you can adjust it up at the hinges ontop. there are a few bolts, just loosen them to more it , then re-titen. When I baught my bird it had only 30k miles on it, and the back hatch didn't have even spasing, still doesn't, but it is just the way it is, no body sag or anything, just not perfect fit.
