Lower hinge.  Welded in thick wall steel.  I think it was an id of 0.44 or 0.48 in.  Welded, then bushings made from 630 bronze.  I made them long 0.75 in.  Flange is 0.062ish. It is magnetic.  Hole was cleaned up with a drill a few thousands under 0.500.  0.500 in reamer.  Pin is from a hinge kit. Zerk is std.  Installed bushings with locktite.  Plin needed some clearance for the zerk.

You can see the zerk.  The bushings in the kit were a little loose.  Loctite 620 for bushings was used.  To get access the drivers air duct has to come out.  A short screw driver works.  When the duct was out.  I ground the rivets off the bracket and added #10 floating nut plates.  This way i could install the bracket and put the an525 screws inside the duct.  Easier.. but not a must.  Upper hinge r&r wasn't horrible.

You can see the upper stiffer is welded in.  The lower is attached w cr3523-4-2 rivets.  There is a shorter one vertical close to the speaker hole.  These were both surface fay sealed.  The ends were plugged with sealant and its 1/2 square tubing.

Here's the inner dblr.  I cut a wooden template and used a plasma cutter.  Slots were plung cut on a mill.  Lots of small plunges.  Edges got some heavy flapper disc sanding to be radiused.

I added this to the out skin.  A piece to the lower fender and wheel well.
Plan on vb-2 vspor barrier.
