Can anyone explain how to make my doors open and close as easily as a new car?

make sure your handles. and catch are in good shape. make sure the door has good pins and hinges and get new weather stripping. mine shuts up perfect.

Well I replaced the weather stripping and the strikers over the past few months. The doors line up, so the pins and hinges should be good. I have to bought new handles from 50resto.com because a buddy broke one. Do you think the latches are bad?

I had a problem with a actuator not fully unlocking, I had to have my key in the door and actually unlock it and pull the door open at the same time to get it to open smoothly. A new actuator obvisouly fixed it.

Possible. I'd WD 40 the door and see if that helps.

play around adjusting the striker latch. keep everything well lubed and make sure the hinge pins are good.

Spray some white lithium grease in the lock/door mechanisms, it works great for the door stuff.
