Chemong,

Looking great Chemong!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

That's a nice looking coach body. Nice work on it.

That body really looks GREAT!  Nice job. I didn't realize that the older firewalls really look the same as the 33-35 Standard series ones. That's going to be a nice ride! :)

Chemong,

I have the lower hinge, it is yours if you need it.  Ghost  did me a good turn, I'm just passing it forward.

Great I will PM you when I get a chance Thanks Terry

Terry,

I wanted to send you this pic first to see if this is what you want,

The long hinge is for the  bottom on a 30, but I think that the mate, which is shorter, is for the top.  It could easily be extended by wielding a piece on.

Do you still want them? 

Chemong55

Yes will make them work have the passenger for a pattern

Great, I have a 30 Coach just like yours and may need some guidance.

Chemong55

I'm the guy that needs guidance
