Don:
My PA is from February 1935, although the body, made for me by Steve Gilbert
here in the UK in 2000, is clearly not.
However, Steve is highly faithful to maintaining the breed and that extends
to the quality and detailing of his work.
Having said that, here are three pics of the RHS of my car which should give
you an idea of how the bits fit together.
There is no metal in the hinge insert - thus the hinges screw straight onto
the exposed vertical timber member of the door post.
Please let me know if you'd like any further details.
Best regards
Dick Morbey

Subject: metal bending on a PA
Hi Experts,
Does anyone have close-up pictures of how rear quarter panel metal is
shaped
around the top of the door post on a 34-35 PA? Would it be the same on Js
or
early Ts as well?
There is a half round step in top of rear door post ... just above top
hinge
inset. I can't figure out how to cut the metal to get proper fit for this
entire area.
Am I correct in assuming metal is removed from hinge inset ... rather than
shaped to conform to shape of hinge so hinge actually rests against wood
frame?
Thanks,
Don B.
