These are the hinges that I will use.
Slabsides had two hinges per door. With the dogleg I only have space for one up high.
Above the crease is where the hinge will go.

65 psi oil pressure hand cranking with a speeder bar.
Now to clean and paint the trans cross member and get ready to drop the engine/trans back in to the frame

Thanks for following along!
The doors will be modified to work as they would have done from the factory. No door poppers LOL!
Ya I'm pretty good with mechanical visualization. I can sit in the garage staring at the car for hours visualizing what needs to get done. Sometimes this takes time away from actually turning wrenches LOL, but beers are usually involved so it's all good

Absolutely LOVE this build diary. Read the whole thing top to bottom! Can't wait to see the fully finished project. I sold my Road Runner convertible a while back and now I'm looking for a 1977 or 76 LTC to resto-mod and drive wheels off of! Also following you over at the Lincoln forum.

You're really making me miss the '78 Town Coupe I had 30+ years ago.
