Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

I had removed all the hinges and installed all new pins and bushings. Reinstalled the doors in place to check for fit. Made a difference in not sagging, doors also closed better.

As a side note: A trick I learned a long time ago, is to drill a 1/8" hole thru the hinge and body panel, tap the hole for a #8 or #10/32 machine screw and install it. Now each time you reinstall the door, install the main bolts (to hold door up) align this small hole with the screw, then tighten the main bolts. Door will be in the same position each and everytime.
