Re: 57 Chevy Wagon - Californa Dreamin'
The passenger side hinge box is in it's final resting place... or at least I really hope so. By welding in patches and sealing the edges with RTV, I've made a big commitment. I haven't completely finished welding and grinding, but just cutting all the spot welds to reposition the hinge would be a huge task. I also added a gusset that connects the side of the hinge box to the inner wheel well. Since I have no plans for mini-tubs, attaching the gusset to the wheel well made the most sense. The box should be sturdy enough to support the door with welds / patches attaching it to both door jamb walls and the wheel well.
