Hello, I'm from Texas, and I'm trying to find online some hinges for the door on my 1973 mustang coupe.
The door dash , so it won't close. Any body can please direct me to somewhere I can find replacement hinges and whatever else you think I might need , so I can take it to body shop.
Thank you

You can sometimes fix the hinges with a new pin kit, depending on how bad they are. If the bronze bushing is damaged or missing, but the pin has not wobbled out the hinge hole, you can use a pin kit. NPD has the correct ones for the 1971-1973 Mustangs:

If the hinges holes are damaged a good welder could weld up the hole and drill them back out to the correct size. My understanding is that the reproduction hinges are not very good, and to always use Ford OEM hinges.

West Coast Classic Cougar sells rebuilt OEM hinges and they sell the reproductions. they tell you that the reproduction ones do not fit well and that if you buy them there are no returns:

Where in Texas are you? I am going to see about buying the pins and bushings rebuild kit for now. To see if that will fix the problem. Does anyone have advice on where is the best place I can get the rebuild kit?
