    Anybody have some top view pics of some good ones?

    Also how to remove exterior door handles?

    I can't really help because I have no hinges anymore, but in my past experience with Willys doors you have to really massage the hinges to get the door fit you want. Unless you have new or very, very good ones you will have to do a lot of work. Sorry if thats not what you want to hear but thats been my experience. Somebody (maybe Nordahl) sold cast repo's years ago.

    I always mount my doors and then get the torch and start bending the hinges to fit the curve of the body a s to get the best accurate gap. These cars are so cheap and they have shifted like crazy over the years.

    My 2 cents.
