1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
I then cut the last patch and welded it in... I use a Dremel to fine tune the fitment...
After Kaelyn came home we decided to do something that we could feel like we had an accomplishment. Out came the RestoRick door hinge rebuild kit. I used the car as a vice to work on the hinges..
Kaelyn hammers out the upper hinge pin installed the new brass bushings and hammered in the new pin. She is not an expert at precision heavy hammering so I helped.
Ready for the lower hinge.
I had the reamer from RestoRick from my Coronet so it was a piece of cake.
Replacing the spring is easy.
Use a pry bar to twist the spring from its notch and tap the bottom with a hammer to slide it up and out of the notch
Make sure you get the new one in the right orientation.
