Although I don't recommend or condone this approach but you could try a piece of wood placed vertically in each hinge and nicely push the door shut a little at a time to get the hinges back.
If tweaked hinges are the actual problem......
Also did the wind catch the door our were you parked down hill?

you ruined my door! haha just kidding
naw I was in my garage and in the driver's seat and i was talking to someone and backing up and completely forgot the driver's door was wide open. i was only going to back up like 2 feet and the door got caught on the wall. stupid i know, i never do things like that. anyway i stopped immediately.
i went to a body shop today and they quoted me... guess how much? $1500. Yeah right. He wanted to charge me $75 to remove the fender and put it back which is okay but he said that's just to get a look in. If it requires hinges or the pillar thing is bent it's going to be steep. I was seriously contemplating selling the truck but good thing I got 2nd and 3rd advice. The 3rd place was this older man and he just got some pry bars and a tool to reshape the fender out and just got it pulled out and the door opened up. Thank god. he didn't charge anything either. very nice man.
Anyway I am going to plastidip the grille. What do you guys think looks better?
White grille to match the white paint? Or the black grille with the white paint like I have already? (it's actually more gray right now so black would look nice) I'm also going to smoke the parking and corner lights. Maybe I'll do a composite headlight conversion later but i dont want to sink in any more money at this point.
hard to get a vision of the whole truck but here goes.. excuse the quick photoshop job

The first and second one are my favorite.
My first choice would be to just paint the entire truck gloss mirror finish black and also do the grille but dont have money for that
