Camaro door hinge rebuild kit

[jasonz28camaro]

Can anyone recommend a good door hinge replacement kit for a 68 camaro?

Also, I have seen some videos on youtube showing people only replacing the top hinge bushings, is this the norm or are they possibly just not showing replacement of the bottom?

Just check with most of the aftermarket suppliers such a Classic indrustries

Got mine at Camaro Central: https://www.camarocentral.com/1968_1969_Door_Hinges_Repair_Rebuild_Kit_p/dwn-524.htm

I had a bodyshop put them on after watching install videos and not having the space in my garage, nor an extra person to help... best $250 I've spent in a long time.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. I had Heard some kits were no good for some reason.

Do you guys do both the upper and lower hinges?

I did both upper and lower with a kit. Its a 1979 Z-28 RS with power windows so you know they were worn out.

Good deal thanks.


Any tips on instilling them? I havent Really looked into it, I’m assuming just take the door off and change them or is there a more efficient way to do it?

I'd replace both upper and lower pins and bushing if you have the doors off... the kits are cheap compared to time invested in replacing the old upper/lower in the near future.

Here is a video that shows the steps that I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=jgrSA-gdjx4

It would be easier to have help doing it.

I am having the same kit that Adam listed above installed by a buddys shop. will let you know next month when I get the car back how they are. Both of my bottom rollers are messed up.

Is a rebuild better than buying aftermarket hinges? I have had good luck with the complete hinges.

Always chose a rebuild over new ones

After researching a ton on other forums, I sent my 67 Camaro factory hinges off to be rebuilt. If you google search HoodHingeRepair you'll find the shop I used in Virginia. Pretty decent turn around time, and the finished product looked good. I haven't rehung the doors, so I can't vouch for use or longevity.

I heard the home rebuild kits don't last long, and I didn't want to hang and gap doors that might sag or fail prematurely.

The service wasn't cheap, but I think it's worth it IMHO.

I had them do our 66 nova hood hinges and they came back great. They were even extra careful because mine were already ceramic coated (they got sent to coaters before I knew they were in need of new pins) and they didn't damage the coating :thumbsup:
