This process works well not only fine tuning "post paint" but also for re-boding a car (as the 50+ Singers I did).
Most importantly it should be done before paint.
While you are doing all the bodywork etc, dry fit everything, once fitment is perfect; drill 1-2 small 1/8" alignment holes in the door hinges, door strike, deck-lid hinges, hood hinges (both on the hood as well the hinge to body) etc.. After paint it makes getting the perfect panel alignment less time consuming.

This makes perfect sense as the quarter panels aren't gonna move, so get the gaps from there to the doors right. Then, as the doors should now be correct, align the fenders to those. And then the hood 'cause you already got the fenders all done up nice.
The drilling holes to keep track of the alignment you spent so much energy on is a great idea!
