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... ![]() ![]() ![]() . |

Re: Does anyone know how to make suicide doors
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.
