SUCCESS.. Hinges on these

After searching high and low for hinges for the recycled 40 ford woodie I finally decided to succumb to temptation and Modify the stock 1940 ford closed car hinges I have..

Fortunately, I only needed to modify the front door hinges.. as the rear door uses a piano hinge (the stock replacements have also eluded me.)

so a few hours of calculation, cutting.. welding

we're hinged..



ironically. I think that the fit of the front door is better than most stock woodies.. Additionally the action of the door (the opening / closing) is smoother than my convertible..

With one side complete I can remove the hinges and replicate the parts to the other side..

moving on!
