39BuickEight Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hello everyone. In the process of sorting our door parts we realized that a couple of front door bottom hinges are pretty rough, especially the right front. I would appreciate any leads on where to find them. I have about given up on Dave T. after many unsuccessful attempts to purchase other parts from him.thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Write a letter to Dave T, put it in an envelope with a postage stamp, then in a box on the street. (remember those things?)http://forums.aaca.org/members/bobh/ was/is trying to sell his 1939 S40 parts carRPM-motorsports-parts on ebay are breaking up a 1939 & other mid - late 30s Buick’s. Will cost $www.rpmclassicparts.com and www.ebay.com.au/sch/rpm-motorsports-parts/m.htmlI probably have some, but no idea if they are left or right, back or front, but shipping cost would be too high. In this part of the world (RHD) front right hinge wears the most Edited February 23, 2014 by 1939_buick added links (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhar1960 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Billy,What do you mean by "rough" ?? Is it just that the pin is worn and jiggered ??Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 jiggered ??That word may need as Aussie to American translation ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 No not the pin, they opened and closed as solid as you would expect before we tore the car down, but the actual steel structure is rusted, almost completely off the pin on the lower left and right front. I have sent a message to RPM motor sports.I have actually spoken with Dave 5 times over the past couple of years, and he has taken my information and parts needed 3 times, and has never contacted me back. I'm sure there are some out there. Thanks guys, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grant Magrath Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Nice Danny! I think us southern hemisphere folk would probably win the world swearing champs. Our 38 had worn hinges, not rusted though. We had to weld up the hinge, file it, drill it, and insert new bushings from Chevs of the 40's.Good luck with the search Billy! And remember, Large Olds and Pontiacs used the same body as the Special.Cheersgrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
