I know this is two years old now, but I learned more in the last eight minutes than I have in a month of reading about this topic. Thanks Doc, as always.
Dr. Cranky, I used to model a long time ago, but different things like schooling, my career and other activities pulled me away from something I really enjoyed. Since my motorcycle accident, I've seen a lot of your(and a couple of other folks) vids during the time I was healing. I have to say, you rekindled the modeling bug in me! I learned a heck-of-a-lot tips and new ideas-especially about painting from you. I have one problem, I'm paralyzed from the chest down and I just can't get around like I used to. Modeling used to be easy. I got off track from what I wanted to say to you; and that was, My hat goes off to you! You're a very talented man with unique ideas! That's why you're the Doctor.
I really appreciate your posting this. I am getting back into modelling after many years being away from it. A lot has changed since I built models and there was no one around who could show how to make details such as these hinges. This and some of the other techniques you show will really help me to be a better modeler and make my models more interesting to me if to no one else. I still have so much to learn but you have helped me a great deal...Thanks from a new 63yr old modeler..
Hi Doc I am 5 years behind looking at your hinging tip. You are such an inspiration to this hobby it just AWESOME! I noticed that you like your 55 Chevies. This makes it even more interesting because i am a Tri-Chevy man myself. Going to try your way of doing it Thank you once again
Thanks Doc Cranky, that really helped out. I dont normally build cars, but Im going full bore on a Ecto 4D using the AMT Ecto1 as a base kit. I cut out the back door today, and now Im ready to move on to this step!
Just in case it wasn't mentioned and another you tuber mentioned they couldn't find them, The half round pliers are Kadee coupler pliers. Kadee product Used in the model railroading hobby.
I know I have posted on this subject before,but I love the way the hinges look,and it is so easy. Beautiful job Doc and thank you so much for sharing this technique with us
Hi I live in Lincolnshire England and have recently begun building model cars, usually I build military vehicles n miniatures. I want to make my cars look more realistic so I've been searching for idea n found you, I love the idea of hinges n the use of magnets eats so I'm very glad to have found your tutorial. I also subscribed. Love the background music it hit bullseye to my musical taste. I'll keep watching. Huge thanks for taking the time to make show us how to n post your video 👍👍👍👏👏✌🏻🍺🍺🕊
Hey, I enjoyed your video tutorial very much. Just the other day I was thinking about finding a way of doing hinges and yours look great! I commend you for your well thought and organized video. Thanks for a job well done!

Thank you for taking the time to post this. Great video tutorial! I see many hours of practice ahead for me.....
I've used rare earth magnets for years. Their amazing power allows modelers to use smaller sizes. I agree with you about suicide doors. They look exceptional, especially on convertibles.👍
awesome how to on hinge work Doc...very clean work. i like da idea wit da magnets...not only will it help keep da doors close, but also keep da door an body align. da thing i wanna c...near da end u said, after paintin dat we wouldn't notice da magnet on da door. if u could show us how dat looks...i'd really would appreciate dat. thanx...
i think i could attempt this now. thanks for the video. i will be pausing and playing this video all day. not to mention the music should keep me from throwing my project at the wall. Build on!
Thanks a lot!, I haven´t built a model in about 9 years but you just gave me a good reason to start again, I feel like a roach trying to be a buttefly when I see your models, It´s still along way for me to get where you are but thanks for sharing that kind of knowledge!
thank you, i wanted to tell you i did not know about the modeling community on here until i ran across one of your videos and you inspired me to do my own channel. you also inspired me to do more stuff to my models like hinges, so thanks again.
Thank you for your Tutorial. That little extra effort did help. I never knew how to make "HINGING". I like how you put your own spin to it. Thank you for all your hard work. Keep it Kool and Real Peace!
As if I didn't feel like I had enough on my plate building my first model, I was thinking of doing this but I might pass for the time being. Might do this down the road for the 190E Evo2 Berlin 2000 kit I plan on building once ive gained experience.
SWEEET ! My brother always liked the larger scaled cars with the premade door hinges.....used to scare me...afraid that i would glue the hinge.....NO MORE ! THANX !!
Thank you so much for putting thing together into a video I will coming back to this one a lot to bad you can't put this one DVD or as a down load. I want to see more of the 55's has you get them done.
Can you tell what size both magnets (Jamb and Strike sides) are? The larger one looks to be a cylindrical style glued in the round tubing. Love the concept. Thanks
Gerald Chirnomas Gerald, I can't recall plus we are pretty bad at math, but they are the smallest two sizes and yes, one is cylindrical which is what I love about these magnets. They fit into tubing. Best wishes and thank you, DC
Hi Doc, I love watching your 'how to' videos, but, I tend to find them harder to with the music playing, I much prefer and tend to find them far easier to follow, if you are showing and talking us through the process, when it is just music playing I tend to not concentrate as much and quickly lose interest, music videos are only ok for showing finished models etc... Please, is there any chance you could do another one of these showing how to do the hinges etc but with you talking instead of the music please... Many thanks and please keep up the great work... John...
Thanks for your input, John. This video is really a slideshow. After I had done the hinging I realized I should have done "live" video of the process. Yes, I have a new TO DO vid on the list, but these videos take time, energy and resources. I'm just letting you know to stay tuned in because sooner or later a new video will go up.
***** Hi Doc, That is great news, thank you so much, plus, I am still working my way through your videos slowly so I still have plenty to watch to keep me occupied... Many, many thanks again... John... P.S... Happy New Year to you too Sir, I hope 2014 is a great year for you...(:
Ok I did sue aside doors on my chevelle I bought 1mm×1mm magnets which do u prefer I would like you to check out my channel thrusday and tell me what u think if u would please
awesome concept with the magnets man, now finding them may be a challange, maybe not , that idea is very helpful for me 'cause after a while the hinges get a little loose , and the doors just open up on their own , ah the magnets will correct that , that is so kool doc', thanx for sharing , kutgw , heck-of a tip , peace & please do keep it going , love your vid bro' !!!!!!!!
thank you Dr. You have given my medicines and now i will take them and hopefully that i will get back to you with some pics. it may take a lil more than just a while, want it perfect. But thank you very much for your vids i have learned alot and now to put it to work. again thank you very much.
Hey iv been looking around on here (youtube) for tips or how to biuld a gas tank because iv been in the process of building a rat rod and i dont have a gas tank or any thing and was wondering if you have any tips
HEY DOCTOR, I NEED SOME MEDICAL ADVICE ON MY CURRENT CAR MODEL BUILD. DO YOU HAVE THE TIME ? I do not want to add irrelevant stuff to my comments but I can't help myself. 30+ years ago I managed "A REAL" hobbyshop when they weren't so far and few between. Anyway,I started a kit back then Monogram #2757 37 Ford "Fat Fendered" Street Rod. I loved the box art so I decided to open up the doors,which I did,BUT.....I put the kit away until now. O.k.,I have watched numerous utube videos on how to hinge car models yours being one of them. They used cars from the 60's,70's. The doors on these cars were thick. As you know,you can drill holes in the door to fit plastistruct hollow tubing. I am using #223 3/32" tubing AND Paperclips.No can do ! The door is too thin and not alot of room to epoxy the other part of the hinge to the door frame close to the firewall. Have you done a project with this vintage car where the door and door skin is real thin ? Your guidance would be very much appreciated. I am stuck in a quagmire LOL . Wasting alot of time that I can be spending on a easier projects. Thank you Doc.
Great video!!! How did you get the inside panel separate? I am starting on the AMT 1967 Chevy Impala SS and the inside door detail is on the back of the door itself. I wouldn't have room for the hinge works because there isn't a separate interior door detail panel.
For one thing there are trademark fees to Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler Dodge BN railroad or one of the railroads started this a long time ago then it hit car models.
Hey Doc,hope all is well. I just wanted to know where you got your crimping pliers from. I have looked all over and can't find any. Thank you and take care
Paint. Do you usually paint ypour models after they are assembled? Seems it would be a lot harder to paint certain parts after they are glued in. Just wondering................>Brett
Hi Doc,just a quick question. Was this cars interior pre designed for open doors,or did you do all the spacing and such yourself? Hope your vacation is going well. If anyone graduated at you house,pleasr congratulate them for me. Oh and my dogs told me to say hi to Eyegore lol
Oh okay. I liked the one 55 that you had pert of the roof that looked like it was going to be very cool looking maybe I will come a cross it in one of your video I have seen yet after all a new friend told me about you a few weeks back, so I have a lot of your video to see.
Yes I was just letten u now I been building for years in the last year I have become disabled now I am getten hands to work wright I always wanted to cut doors open never did I been watching ur videos I finely did one I like to send u pics I am also entering it in cheesebuger s top ten this week ill add video to my channel soon I also can u make me so batteries thanks jason

Doctor Cranky - thanks a bunch. I am building a '49 Merc and this will help tremendously.
Just in case it wasn't mentioned and another you tuber mentioned they couldn't find them, The half round pliers are Kadee coupler pliers. Kadee product
Used in the model railroading hobby.
This was the best d.i.y model car door hinges I've seen,great video,and awesome idea how you used the magnets for door locks..2 thumbs up👍👍
I know I have posted on this subject before,but I love the way the hinges look,and it is so easy. Beautiful job Doc and thank you so much for sharing this technique with us
These hinges look and function very much like 1/25 hinges made by Auto World of Scranton, PA, during the 60s and 70s. Thanks, Dr. Cranky!

This is just astounding. I have to do this. And this has an infinite number of uses outside of just cars!
i think i could attempt this now. thanks for the video. i will be pausing and playing this video all day. not to mention the music should keep me from throwing my project at the wall. Build on!
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Hinges can be confusing.
Thank you very much. Such a great tip with the magnets also. Im going to have to try this
Thanks a lot!, I haven´t built a model in about 9 years but you just gave me a good reason to start again, I feel like a roach trying to be a buttefly when I see your models, It´s still along way for me to get where you are but thanks for sharing that kind of knowledge!
Gabosamu Jump in and start building and sharing again.

Can you tell what size both magnets (Jamb and Strike sides) are? The larger one looks to be a cylindrical style glued in the round tubing. Love the concept. Thanks
Gerald Chirnomas Gerald, I can't recall plus we are pretty bad at math, but they are the smallest two sizes and yes, one is cylindrical which is what I love about these magnets. They fit into tubing. Best wishes and thank you, DC
Great video....
Thanks a million!, I used a variation of this method for the first time after seeing your video!
Delighted to hear it. I'm glad you put it to good use. Thank you for the visit. Hope you enjoy more.
***** hey doctor i new with building door open and closed door I'm trying it it hard to it like I need it to be
I ordered the .32 tube but the inside is 1/4" and seems really loose on the paper clip, or is that for holding the magnet?
Hi Doc,
I love watching your 'how to' videos, but, I tend to find them harder to with the music playing, I much prefer and tend to find them far easier to follow, if you are showing and talking us through the process, when it is just music playing I tend to not concentrate as much and quickly lose interest, music videos are only ok for showing finished models etc...

hey doc will the 3/32 work im on hobby linc and cant find the .32
You can find small magnets from earphones.
awesome tips. do you just use an xacto or do you use a jewelers saw?
Great video!!! How did you get the inside panel separate? I am starting on the AMT 1967 Chevy Impala SS and the inside door detail is on the back of the door itself. I wouldn't have room for the hinge works because there isn't a separate interior door detail panel.
If I remember correctly, I framed the interior and then used styrene stock to seal up the open ends.
@damncranky666 ok thanks Dr. , I think I have some different wire that will work,,I'll keep trying and always learning.
hey doc, that is some amazing work!
Hi doc,Ignore the last comment. Sorry. Quick question can you make a how to video on making the jams for the doors. Thanks
did the doors come split in to two pieces or did you have to cut them
For one thing there are trademark fees to Ford, Chevy, and Chrysler Dodge BN railroad or one of the railroads started this a long time ago then it hit car models.
How did you do your door jams
very nice great work and idea thanx
Hey Doc,hope all is well. I just wanted to know where you got your crimping pliers from. I have looked all over and can't find any. Thank you and take care
Paint. Do you usually paint ypour models after they are assembled? Seems it would be a lot harder to paint certain parts after they are glued in. Just wondering................>Brett
Brett Weir Only when I do rusty junkers and beaters. If I am doing shiny I paint every part separate.
Another Great Vid Cranky!!! Very Informative. Thanks!!!
Where can I find those crimping pliers?
what's the white thing on the wire?
Hi Doc,just a quick question. Was this cars interior pre designed for open doors,or did you do all the spacing and such yourself? Hope your vacation is going well. If anyone graduated at you house,pleasr congratulate them for me. Oh and my dogs told me to say hi to Eyegore lol

Define: Too flipping cool. This is it!
Oh okay. I liked the one 55 that you had pert of the roof that looked like it was going to be very cool looking maybe I will come a cross it in one of your video I have seen yet after all a new friend told me about you a few weeks back, so I have a lot of your video to see.
