I feel your paint with the hinges, I have the biggest trouble when it comes to them on my build as well. I hate them so much that I built one for the drivers door about 6 month ago and still havent done the pssengers side out of hate LOL..You can look over my 5 ton build and see how I did mine if it helps..

And you doing a fine job here man!! Please keep posting its motivational to say the least!

Thank you diesel diamond. Espeefan, pretty much everything is in the way, door sill, floor, door frame. I was hoping to keep the doors removable, I like the stacked hinges that ihbuilder used. I looked at my local hardware store but I couldnt find anything that small. So espeefan, I may have to just solder them!
There is a doll house store in town that I'm going to check.
Crawler07, I like your hinges. Do you have anymore detailed photos of how you did them? I want to try everything and see what works best.
I have an idea that I'm going to try, and I'll post pics even if it doesn't work.
This is why I joined this board, everyone is so helpful and friendly!
Thanks for looking
Tim

Wow what a week!! I didn't get much chance to do anything until today. I played with hinges today, and I'm going to try a couple other ideas before I decide on my final arrangement, but I'd like to hear what you guys think.

These are the small hinges I finally found that ihbuilder suggested

And this is the same thing just from farther away

I like the look, but I've got to do some structure mods to use them. They push the door way back.
What do you guys think?
