Here's a shot of one of the door hinges with the mounting pads pressed on & a bolt in place of where the pin will go. Still got a ways to go on them, but they're startin' to shape up. Got one of the originals in the background. Elumeum' ones are much lighter.

I'm assuming that you are fabricating these parts, Pro. That is incredible...

Thanks WC. Yup. I bought a chunk of use aluminum. It's a little beat up, but once I get done machining it makes no difference.

they'll be all shiny when I'm done.

nice work on the hinges Gary
That break looks nice. It's one of those things that you don't use that much, but if you have one you use it more than you think. Luckily a guy about a half mile down the road from me has one...

Yup. I think the wires did more than replacin' the opti - but the stock opti spark doesn't like the extra zap from the MSD Jeff found out doin' some research. So, it's problee' good insurance to replace it. Jeff's got a '95. I guess they get wet easy by design (says Jeff). MDS supposedly has that problem solved with their design.
I think he's feelin' purdy good that he found the problem.
