I dont know if this is your problem, but a few chevys that me and some friends have owned have all seemed to have a prob simular to this. The lever that holds the door shut sometimes falls down when it is open causing it not to close. Try pulling the handel that opens the door then feeling down there for the lever and try to push it up.

of course its goin to be black, thats primarily why i got it, i dont see alot of black birds around here.
i took off the old wing which was totally gone and used the flat base bird wing form my 92 to go on the car, i have to fill in the 5 holes and drill 4 new ones, but i am paying for the body man to do it. i am getting what they call "hooked up" becuase i had a good business relation witht he owner and manager there and am paying significantly less oh hells yes)when its done it will look very clean and as it should with 65,000 miles. its a one stage but thats becuase i am getting it done for like 80 % off a regular ticket (but shhh)
i dont know how to get pics up of my bird and gta but the one stage looks pretty damn sweet for the price you pay.
so how do you post pics anyway?

80% off huh?
So what is that, like $150? haha.
Look below where you type a response for the Additional Options.
"Manage Attachments"
Self-explanatory from there, I hope.
I'd like to get a 2-stage $3,000 paint job for 80% off, $600, how sweet would that be.

Yeah, from afar the 6 looks very good.
I'm sure the 1-stage will do my Supra justice.
Too bad you don't work there anymore, I wanted a hook-up.
Black GTA's have always been my 2nd fav.
As for the 20" rims, not so much.

the rims are not permanent, its just that they have good tires and i want to deep clean the gta wheels, or i might just have them tatally refurbished from a guy i know through the shop. i was going to put them on my 6 to help it sell but i know i would never used the rims that are on the 6 now, i like thme but not on a 350 way too skinny.
yeah you should have come earlier and i could have thorne you some money off and **** like that to make it the cheapest possible, but i just cant work there right now, i might go back later after the season but am still contimplating it.
