Im in need of a "knowledgeable", person that has rebuilt a frame for specifically a 56.
Exactly the assortment of "hinge pins" that make the top function smoothly as it should.One of mine has snapped apart I need advise.
never relized the engineering (trial & err) that went into these cars.
Any So.Cal. person recommendations?
Gracias
Thomas

My main one was worn pretty badly. I replaced it with a bus hinge pin. The other ones you may have to have custom made if you need them. Maybe try Chucks.
