Pete 367 in brass

[Timmy]

Good eye Brian, the truck I'm doing is a 359! I'll have to sort through pictures to find some of it, but I'll post them when I can.
Ihbuilder, I think I prefer tin knocker now!! Lol
I have run into a snag in my build. Well I have many, but this one is really bugging me, can someone help????
I have my door built about 40%





And this is how it fits, my problem is my hinge.
Now my plan was to use a piece of 1/8 rod and 5/64 tube to make my hinge

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make it work. I want it to look like the piano hinge on a full size truck, but I currently can't figure out how to get my pin into the hinge as the upper door frame is right in the way, and to go up from the bottom I'd have to bend the door out of the way

Hopefully the picture helps my explanation, I hope someone can help me!
Thanks for looking
Tim
