They are a tad thicker than oem, so just slam the doors for awhile, or Ben the metal lip back some.

I had same problem with my 63 fury i let it sit in the sun a with the doors shut and it seemed to help there not as hard to shut now

I even had to resort to a 5 lb hammer and a large cold chisel. My entire inside of the door is gutted so they're pretty flexible. Just work at it, you can make them fit nice.
