Question 51 chevy help

I got this 51 chevy 5window cab to use for a project because the cab is in great shape but the problem i have is that the bolts that hold the door hinge on are broke off!!!
How would I go about getting these out?? and the pass side looks like they have been cut with a plasma cutter or somthing?

Any help would be great!!
Thanks matt

Re: 51 chevy help

matthew.doan, If the bolts are broke off flush center punch the center of the bolts and drill the bolts out and retapp, if not grind flush the get a good start. I would start with a 1/8 (.125) bit first and then a Q drill bit (.332) the bolts are tapped for 3/8-24. The side that has been plasmed out you can buy the panel but you would have to make the part with the threads. Post a picture if you can to see best fix.
