Broken and Sagging Door Hinges - FIXED! | 1965 Dodge Coronet 500

I was not able to align my Driver side door and what I discovered was a broken door hinge. After welding it back up, I decided to drill out and install new bushings into the lower hinge.
The lower hinges had been shimmed up with washers and I decided that was not going to be my long term solution. So I cut some shims from 16 gauge steel and slid them in.

Just watching all the steps that I went thru on my Plymouth. Thanks for sharing.

Sure thing, I had to do the same on my '65 Satellite. What part of the country are you in?

Man the door adjustment progress is usually a pain but you got them looking pretty close.

[@Chuck_House_of_Mopar]

It's really not that bad, as I have discovered. It's certainly a lot easier with a door shell vs a completed door.

@@Chuck_House_of_Mopar you know it, glass and hardware all add up. Keep up the good work chuck.

Yeah, that whole process gets a lot dicier when dealing with a finished car - in tighter quarters - by yourself..
Ask me how I know....🙂
Good stuff as always. Appreciate the efforts and we'll see you in the next one.

Thanks Ed, I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in this.
