Shell Valley door hinges
I had some time to work on my door hinges today while waiting on my trailing links to arrive. I welded studs into a plate to bond to the door later and bolted it to the hinge plates then tacked that to my door hoop. With the door hoop formed to fit closely, the hoop runs into the door surround and the door won't even come close to clearing the body lip.
I shortened the hoop about a 1/2" and tacked it all back together. Now the hoop clears, but the door isn't clearing any better.
Have any of you guys resolved this problem and how did you do it? Or, does anyone have a template for a different door hinge that I could use to make this work? Needlesss to say, I'm not real happy with these Shell Valley door hinges, though I realize it is probably user incompetence and/or ignorance at this point.
Thanks in advance,
