The stock hinges. Why screw with what works then they aren't that expensive and even sloppy ones can be rebuilt for beer money.

What is wrong with the ones you have? Wes at Classic Heartbeat 335 93 rd. Ave. S.W. / Olympia, Wash. 98512 May have the bushings to repair the stock hinges in stock.

I just can not see the value or saving in spending many hours to changes hinges that in the end may or may not work right or even allow you to put glass in the doors when you are done because "they" say they might work. From my experience these "they" guys are usually belong to the spit and whittle club down at the corner market who heard from someone else that knew someone who built a rat rod and did it.
