Re: Sagging driver's door

DJ,
I'm not in a big hurry, so I can wait. :) I didn't think it would be a difficult job, but it's good to know anyway.

It's only vacation if you are enjoying yourself. hehe

Thanks much!

Scott,

I bought the bushings and new pins and redid my 65 Coronet. Not that tough a job. I can't recall whom I got them from and I'm away from my laptop that has all the information. Will not be near it until after the 18th of this month. On vacation in New York. I guess it is still called a vacation if your retired????

Thank you, George! For the time being, my '64 is my daily driver, so sending the hinges out isn't an option. I'll check out that website and see if they can do anything for me anyway.

Thanks again,
