Default Billet door hinges anyone interested

I am thinking of having billet door hinges made for 2nd gen Ta and firebird, they would be powder coated black and appear factory. They would probably be 200.00 per set, but perfect for glass doors. If we can order a lot at one time they should be cheaper. Anyone interested?

Hi Ray!
There is already a company producing a billet door hinge set for 2nd gen birds and camaro's.
Cost is very prohibitive at over $600.00 clams for them. If you could do it for around $200.00 or so, you could most definitely put me on the list for a set!!!!!

Going after every pound we can Scott! And these are a good start factory hinges are 10 lbs per side. So should save 18 lbs total.

$200 a set would be a good price for lightweight applications.

See link for an example of 2nd Gen full weight door billet hinges.

If you cant make HP that extra 50# will not make a difference.
