Title: 81 Door Hinges
Post by: jbrumett on October 22, 2016, 07:04:58 pm
Good evening gang.

I have a Pepsi 81 that a restorer has had for 9 months with no work completed on it and yesterday I decided enough was enough and I went to get it back. Happy to have it back though he has lost parts. Among them are the door hinges and crank handle backing plate to start with. Not too worried about the backing plate as Funtronics sells them. If anyone has a set of hinges they are willing to sell I would be forever grateful.

 I have another restorer lined up but these pieces are the holdup since they are needed to make sure everything lines up in the bodywork phase.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Wish I could help but have not those parts. Your call but a restorer that takes 9 months to do nothing and losses parts should be named so others do not suffer the same fate.
Thanks,
Creighton

True but let me clarify that is was a local body shop that dropped the ball and not a professional restorer.  They've done work for me in the past with no problem.....until this.

Thanks Creighton.
