pins are a good start. my doors did the same thing, and i threw some pins in out of my other stang and it made it sufficiently better.
it wasnt perfect but they werent new pins.

yer gona probaly need both new hindges and roller pins for each door. I bought them off of 50Resto and they open like a charm now. Its kind of a PITA to do. You'll need a hammer, small crow bar, big plyers or vise grips and a big punch. Its hard to manuever the old one out so I had to clamp down on the end with plyers and hit the bottom of the plyers with the hammer to get the hindges out.
