New upper door hinge pictures
I have put some new upper door hinge photos on the website. The new images should help eliminate some confusion about the door hinges.
Just click on the " sagging doors" or " full hinge assemblies " hyperlinks on the home page http://www.andyz28.com/
Thanx, andyZ28

You know, I started this weekend working on my drivers door..
Remove the bottom pin, found that the bushings are splined and were not the ones the application guide said were for a 89 firebird. Ok no biggy.
Removed door, leaving top hinge on door, and bottom door side of hinge on door.. Found bottom hinge had broken weld, prolly from bumps on years of a junk bushing. Ok welded it up..
Top hinge. Someone put a bottom bolt in, which looks a lot like Andy's design - apparently someone else makes these as well.
Top rivit is totally wiped. the bushing rides freely in the hinge.
So. Now i'm sitting here thinking about taking off the hinge, and welding (not bolting) a new one on.. Any ideas??
