replacing the hinges is actualy an easy task... you remove the front fenders(about an hour or less) , take a painters stick and wrap it in painters tape till it fits tight across the bottom of the doors jam then in its vertical jam and tape them in place, take the painters tape and tape door in place use 3 layers of tape on each band from roof to about the middle of door do 3 seperate bands tripled up ...and remove old hinges and replace one at a time...

I recently put vertical door hinges on my ride but the replacement for you will be the same only u will replace with stock hinges

The best thing about it being his car is that you don't have to live with it.

I like it but who the hell am I? I don't have it on my own car but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it. I don't think I will go that route with my car but it is a cool idea, to each his own.

Oh yeah and back to what this thread was originally about, I can't say which is easier as I probably did it the hard way (as usual) but I replaced the pins and rollers for both sides. They cost me like $10 and I did them both in a couple hours in the driveway. I won't say they were a piece of cake but I really didn't think they were all that bad.

He didn't get the memo that this was a door pin thread.
