When puting my '49 Chevy together, I had 3 sets of door hinges. Only the set that came with the doors worked right. With the other 2 sets the doors didn't come close to fitting right. I was told that the hinges were custom fit at the factory for each set of doors. In other words, if the doors are to fit in the openiing correctly you need the hinges that originally came with them. Anyone else ever hear this?

I think someone threw in some old hinges from something else. Hinges are hinges, some fit better than others but they are still assembly line items, not customs,
