Suicide Door Hinge Kit???
I'm in search for a suicide door kit for my '48. I am looking for quality and long lasting durability. I have checked out various kits online like fbimini.com and streetdreamsbyross.com. I would like your opinions on who makes the BEST suicide hinge kits and why. Thank you!

I know the price for the other kits is really good but suicidedoors.com does not build anything cheap. I have bought many parts from them for my 50 F-1 and have always been pleased. I have not bought the door hinges because I like mine stock but I will buy from them for my wifes 49 Buick.

I have bought a few things from suicidedoors.com myself. I would have to agree they put quality in their work. I would still like everyone elses opinion on who they think make the strongest and durable hinge kits. Thanks!

BTW - I bought these hinges for my 56 and I am also running a Thorbecke 4-link triangulated rear suspension setup that Jason built to my specs. Once you have any of his products in your hands you will see very quickly why they are so good. No fancy plating or bling, just strong metal.

Nobody builds a stronger hinge than Thorbecke at suicide doors. What makes his hinges even better is the way that they are installed using an alignment rod to insure that both hinges remain on plane throughout the installation. These hinges were chosen for use on a vehicle on the TV show "Trucks!", you might be able to find a copy of the show on the internet if you wanted to watch the installation and commentary.

I have them in hand and love them. Here is the main website to them. Williams Street Rods - Home of the Bad to the Bone Street Rods - Home
