      These are the door hinges that we just finished developing after three years. Pretty amazing stuff here! The guys got sick of the doors on these second gens tearing out the door hinges. Took a while to get them right - going to production after one minor modification.

      I'm glad these second gens are finally getting the recognition they deserve! Car is looking awsome! I'm pretty sure these car's car going to skyrocket in the next few years especially with guys like you building these high end cars.

      It sounded to me that RB saw a need for the hinge, a necessity due to the lengthy heavy second gen door fatiguing the hinge. Would it not be that they were conceived of form and function before bling?

      Now if we can talk the Ringbrothers into a set of trunk hinges just as nice with maybe a gas strut versus the torsion rod design of GM I'd be all set. The trunk lid is the second biggest problem on these cars as evidenced by all of the prop rods you see in use on them.

      + 1,000 I would like to see this as well, have thought about the gas struts as well. When I get to area on my 71 Bird I was thinking about trying to add the struts from behind the hinge to help with holding the lid up Vs. being a opener. Like to try to keep them hidden. Something I have seen lately on the newer cars that are sporting monitors mounted on the inside of the trunk lid are billet spacers that go in between the hinge and the trunk lid pocket.

      There is a dramatic difference between the 1st and 2nd gen trunk hinge setup, so the gas strut thing on a 2gen trunk may be a bit complicated. I was wondering if someone may be able to use a ratcheting system similar to something like on a air hose reel?

      Excellent work, I love seeing the progress, and really like the back valance and pan.

      Thanks. Was wondering on the backspace for the front. What was the reason for doing the flares in the front was it because of the front ride height. Im working on a second gen also with the same size fronts and am planning on running it a little lower than normal and the front is tight REAL Tight. i think mine are 6.2 bs
