Father's Day allowed the first hours on this project in months. Since there aren't many of these out there I made its home:



Then got to work on the door hinge. I went with the smallest butt hinge I could find at dollhouse supply. There are four of them but I removed the stays to accept a single pin to make them as piano like as possible.



Tried to get a shot of how proud the hinge sits of the face:



The hinges are a pain and I only plan to do the driver's side. To get the small hinges to sit right I had to thin the door down about halfway to 0.035". Time and a chisel were my friends.
