Start of Suicide Doors







I got my Fathers day gift today, my hinges. So it was off to work and start on these. I've used these kind of hinges before about 10 years ago and kind of know what I'm doing. These are smaller then the last ones I installed so I hope it goes a little better then the last one. I cut out the door striker and replaced it with a section from my donor car. I was able to get the section from the B pillar and keep the shape of the pillar. Did both sides the same, cut, tack and then welded. Next and so important is to make sure the hinges are lined up right so the door works properly. Made some templates and marked the spots on the pillar where I will have to cut out the section for the hinge. That's as far as I got today, next will be to cut the holes and then cut some of the medal in behind to fit the hinge in. Then tack weld and move onto the door section.
