Here's how I did mine on my 51 Ford. I used brass tube, music wire and some epoxy.
You can use a diff size tube and wire as long as it fits snug so the door doesn't flop around. In the pics you can see how I bent the wire to make the hinge, it's bent to clear the body when it opens. I also put a small kink in the wire that goes into the door tubes so it will stay put when I slide it on. This works great, I can take the doors on and off as needed.
I also located the hinge so the bottom part is just at floor level, barely seen.
It takes a little planning and bending a few pieces of wire to get it just right. Mine are real close, I could have moved the hinge further to the rear and had better clearance, but it works.
Hope this helps...

Looks real good CW, just watch out where you put that epoxy. It doesn't take much to make a hinge inoperable. I've put some epoxy on the wrong spot before...the consequences aren't pretty.
