Model A door hinge question.

I am missing the top of the three door hinges on my model a coupe. My question is if i chop it 3 inches would it be ok to eliminate the top hinge and would everything still be safe and secure? Any input would be appreciated I am asking this to see if i should break down and buy a pair or just eliminate them since money is a bit tight. Thanks again for reading.

Oh also if anyone has any pictures of this being done i would love to see them I am on here every night looking but havent come across any. thanks

 

even if you chop it,,i would still run the top hinge..but thats just me.

i think it affects the look ..to me it does.

and the added support for the door cant ever be a bad thing..even if you are making them lighter

 

Ive seen a couple without it But I agree with ^ I would try to get them back on there

 

Thanks for the input guys i will probably end up getting them im just always looking for a money saver right now haha. thanks again guys.

 

I chopped my coop 5'' and deleted the top hinges ! This coop has been running hard for nearly 2 years with no problems ! I chopped my 4dr A back in june and kept the top hinges .

 

Do you have any pictures of your coupe without the top hinge?

 

PM sent ! The only pics I got , hope they help you .

 

I got rid of mine. I actually cut that part out of the door during the chop and cut the A pillars 6" off the top which deleted the hinge. I think it looks great.

 

My 30 plymouth was chopped'n leaded a long time ago and still dont have a problem without it, even with many years of being wrestled around without a floor

 

Good advice on door hinges, If anyone has a extra set of rusty drivers door hinges I NEED-EM.

thanks

Really like the car and the two hinges look very good on here thanks this makes my decision to buy or not to buy that much harder with seeing great looking cars with and without haha .
