63 Avanti sagging door

[saddletramp]

I recently saw an old thread of a hinge repair kit made by LarkTruck Jim. Does anyone have current knowledge of this repair kit??

Or any other way to fix the sagging door issue?? Thanks for any suggestions.

The fiberglass upper 'hinge pocket' is most probably fractured on your Avanti.....The door really needs to be taken off the car for this area to be re-inforced.

A steel plate can be slid into the area and riveted, then fiberglassed in.

If you can do the work yourself, it'll only cost a few dollars for a quart of fiberglass resin, clear hardener, and fiberglass matting.
