Adjusting Body Panels

Adjusting Body Panels
I have an 04 Blaze that has been in a minor accident. She came through everything fine, but some of the body panels don't fit quite as tightly as I would like. The driver's door seems to be a little out of line with the back, and the driver's front fender is a little out as well. The fender gaps between both the bumper and the door are wider than I would like, and there is now a little wind noise around the front door. The gaps on both the front and back of the front door are a little too wide.
Is there a way of adjusting the fit of the door and the fender?

It will just help figure out if something needs to be tweaked or if youd be better off replacing a panel.. awaiting pics.

If it does require moving the door around, the only real way to do this in a precise manner is to cut off the hinge and then bolt it back on. GM makes service repair parts for this which are basically a plate which has nuts welded onto it for inside the truck, a new inner hinge bracket, and some bolts. This makes it possible to then adjust the door around.
About the only other thing you could do is use a BFH to slam things around.
