    Has anyone successfully used Coupe Door hinges for Roadster? My issue is I have only the B pillar half still on the body and I need to join the door halves to them. Apologies if this is redundant. Getting close to beginning the build. Traditional of course. THX in advance! Itchy-Pit.

  4. The '35-'41 truck hinges are 1/8" thinker and 1/8" shorter than '33/'34 roadster hinges. I used '41-'48 passenger car. They are exactly the same in thickness and height...just cut the two upper hinges shorter.

    I used the Wescotts hinges on my coupe. The door hinges were fine. The B pillar hinges would not work. I had to build those. They may have sent the wrong hinge, who knows.
