Has anyone else had problems with the upper door hinges? We worked with an AMD set for a while, and had to grind out the holes on the front pillar and on the hinge just to get the door to close. We ended up moving the hinge forward 5/16 of an inch from the most forward point. Had to cut the side of the washer off the inside bolts just to get them in. On the final installation we set it next to an original hinge and found the bend on the 1/4" thick part of the hinge was bent at 86 degrees rather than 93 degrees and it shoved the door back 3/8" and wouldn't close. Too late to change now, just be aware.

The 71-74 b-body hinges I bought were horrible. My body man wasted a day trying to get them to line up. Ended up getting my originals rebuilt. Worst $250 I've spent.
