model A hidden door hinges. whos done it?

Who's done it? What hinges did you use? And could you post some inside pix of them. Thanks!

 

I've done it.

On a smoothed out Streetrod type of build, when I worked in somebody else's shop.


Please dont do it.


Because of the side profile ( the cowl at rocker height is a lot farther in than it is a the beltline heght ), you'll end up with doors that hang down like a wounded seagul's wings when they are open,
Or you will loose a lot of interior space ( in a car that doesnt have any interior space to loose...)

If I remember right, I suicided the doors.
Which made it a lot better.

But then the hinges were still in the way of the seating area....

 

Hidden hinges scream street rod to me.

 

Hmmm thanks for the advice

 

I put a set on my tudor and it was quite a bit of work. My old hinges were beat up and I figured it would be easier to put the hiddend one in. In hindsight I would have kept the originals.

 

Part of the model A's charm are the hinges and over lapping doors.........

 

Exposed hinges is often the only way to tell it's steel. Please leave 'em as is...

 

So if I do hidden hinges on a steel car, most loudmouth cruise night HAMB experts will stand around babbling "it's a glass car, you can tell on account of the hidden hinges"? Thats some serious motivation right there...
