Hidden Hinges

[RAJ484]

Im working on a 38 Chevy Master Deluxe street rod. Im looking at putting in hidden hinges on all four doors. Does anybody have any recommendations. Ive seen Protocols on Ebay and I know there is Hagan and Autoloc. Im a beginner at this but have a lot of good help in the area.
Any info would be good

I have heard good things about Rocky hinges.

I personally have never used Hagan or AutoLoc, but their reputations are pretty good, from what I have heard.

maybe someone else will chime in here soon.

Welcome from Amarillo, tell us a little about yourself and your project. a pix or two would be appreciated also.

Parr Automotive in Okie City carries a well made hinge kit.

I'm just a beginner car builder. This is the first time I have ever taken ANY car apart down to the frame and started over. We live in sunny New Mexico and besides the 38 we have a 1969 Camaro and a 1966 GTO. The 38 will have the original 350 motor from the Camaro, Heidt's independent front and rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 7004r tranny and a few other goodies. I'm only doing this once so I want to do it right!!!!! Some pictures are located at:

I really do appreciate the opportunity to pick everyones mind here and get all the good info that you guys have. Someday maybe i'll know something that will help someone else.

If you plan on driving this one a lot, there is a simple modification that will make the front suspension much stronger. If you are interested, I'll post some pictures.

Frank,  please post the pics,  I am curious if it matches what I have been thinking about for a long time to put the lower arm in double shear.
