I removed most of the gunk paint an rust by hand with a stripper wheel and will bead blast them later. One hinge had the pin ripped away so I had to weld it up and re drill it. Replaced the brass and the pins.
I welded some nuts into the door jamb where the hinges usually bolt in from the inside of the jamb. The SRT dash is in the way of me bolting it up that way so now all the bolts for the hinges go in from the outside. I drilled out the corresponding threaded area of the hinges to allow for adjustment slop. The lower hinge usually doesn't have brass bushings but since I had them apart I thought I would clearance for them. I like the idea of the bushings rather than the steel on steel.
