47-55.1 Driver's side door adjustment? Or Altman Latch adjustment

[Chris(NJ)]

Ok, I just spent a few hours today on the driver's side door. I wanted a better closing door. I think everything went smooth. They're kinda hard to screw up, right?! Door plate is bolted on. Striker plate is bolted on. Not even close to letting the door close though. Seems like it's off by about 1/2" up/down, at least. I thought my door gaps were pretty good too. Without the striker plate installed, the door shuts fine. What do you guys think? Here's a bunch of pics to help better explain where I'm at......
