anyone made suicide hinges?

[muteboy49]

im getting ready to make some suicide hinges for my truck and i was wondering if anyone has any advice or anything like that they would like to pass along

I made a set for one of my cars I have one pair left as I made a set for sample. The part I didn't make extra is the bottom and top on the hinge as they have to be made to fit the car. They are just flat stock .Top one drilled for shoulder bolt and bottom taped for thread size of shoulder bolt. The pictures I have are not very good and I can't find my drawing.

I bought some after market ones. Probably cheaper than you can make them, but may not be as much fun or rewarding.

My Son bought his from Suicide Doors. Nice pieces and I think about $ 100 a set.

Well back in 91 when I was doing my 32 chevy I priced them don't recall what it was but I was incharge of a machine shop/weld shop it didn't cost to build them, just time.

There are plans available on Ebay. # 260081237412 I bought the straight axle and tilt frontend plans from this guy. They are CAD drawings, I haven't built anything from them yet, but they seem pretty decent. Won't cost anything to check it out.

Wow, I just looked at them, and I won't be buying those. 399.00, and 329.00.

Boy, was I off. I thought they were $ 100.
