Door hinges

I just got my shiny new door hinges in from rock auto for my '67 Coronet.

You want to clean them with wax and grease remover.

NOT lacquer thinner.

Reason being the lacquer thinner evaporates too fast. The hinges most likely have an oil on them and you want to be sure to remove ALL of it.

Spray the w&g remover on it, wipe with a clean white towel. Lather, rinse, repeat until the towel comes away clean. Then epoxy prime and paint.

Yup...trail fit first. Most of this stuff is coming from China and usually has fit issues. Sick of paying good money for junk....
