     David,
     
     You may be able to use a variation on the advice from Bob N. to leave 
     the doors on the first latch position over the winter.  That advice 
     was aimed at *preventing* the wood in the doors from taking a new set.
     
     You may be able to rig up some means of tensioning the doors to 
     *cause* the set you want by leaving them in tension over the winter.
     
     Dad did this with a Franklin sedan that had been repaired after 
     sliding sideways into a telephone pole.  This is a car with lots of 
     ash framing: 4 doors and body tub including roof framing.  It took a 
     lot of turn buckles and a lot of time, but eventually all the doors 
     fit correctly.  By the way, the Franklin actually has an ash *chassis* 
     frame, something Morgans are often accused of.

     PS  How was the Maine Lobster MOG?
