Better late than never. I found that little tip some time ago and drilled my hinges large enough to get an alignment tool in there. Works great!

SO--- It's been some time since I've posted and I've been pretty busy. Got the body done and sent it off the the paint shop. Got it back a few weeks ago and wife and I set it down on the chassis. Got a ways to go yet, but it's starting to look like a car again.
