door hinges have a mile of adjustment.....but I've had to "customize" more than a few aftermarket hinges......... you never want to be "maxed out" on an adjustment

...and have a read. May you rest in peace Bob.....you certainly have earned a rest. :praying: Of course, all of the above is just my opinion. :) ************* I wouldn't normally do this ...but Bob was such a nice guy, I'm sure he would be OK with me sharing our last exchange..... I...

you set up Jigsaw with never moving the door hinges? I did not realize you thought they were in a "fixed" position

RIP Bob. Should’ve used NGK in the ole pacemaker like I told ya.

I'm guessing that the threaded holes are met with a square hole in the hinge itself? If so, this is great to learn! If not, a few moments with a Dremel tool could oval it out.

Thanks, Runner 68 tried attacking me on this forum about 3 years ago. I proved him wrong and he hasn't gotten over it. I read an article about the Dunnig-Kruger Effect. It explains why I ask questions.

Rest in peace Bob. I give him credit, he always stood by his beliefs and provided facts to support them. But most of all I don't remember Bob ever getting into arguments/pissing contests with other members, He just stated his opinion and moved on.

Late model GM hinges are welded, Body shops bend the hinge to adjust them... Look at the picture above, it shows the adjustment..

I have cut up several A body cars and one rusty Satellite station wagon. I'm pretty sure that every hinge that I saw had some manner of body caulking/Dum-Dum between it and the A pillar. I never tried to adjust them. I assumed that they were not adjustable. This is good to know though, it may...

Come on, Runner....Steve did nothing wrong. Like him or not, Steve just tries to stoke conversation on the forum. I see nothing coming from Steve that is inflammatory or controversial.

The bolts attaching the hinge to the body have fore & aft adjustment along with Up & down adjustment at the back end of the door..... The bolts are 3/8", the openings for the bolts are about 3/4" square..

Just remember guys..... Turn your clocks back. Not like my dyslexic friend who was messing with shoe polish and turned his coc............ :lol:

Absolutely. They are welded in place and not adjustable. Hmm....The right door has not been off the car since I bought it, yet it seems to sit too close to the right quarter. I wondered about that. The door can't be moved forward without moving the hinges forward. I didn't think that was...

both my hood to fender gaps and trunk lid to quarter gaps are 3/16 the width of the hood is a constant, that's how it "sets up" the width of the trunk lid, top of the quarters, and dutchman are all constants.........it fits where it fits

Thanks to all for your thoughts. Finding parts has been somewhat frustrating; us Mopar guys collectively are a crazy bunch. It seems that anyone with a few rusty old parts is looking to retire on them. I have been lucky enough to find a few things at a fair price however. Clearly, the...

I wasn't trying to start anything. I was watching a drag race video of bought vs built. It was mostly early Mopars vs late model Challengers. It made me think about the bias against bought and if it was warranted. I'm certainly not against either side. I have to build mine, at least the last...
