With all the work on the hinges pay attention that the rivets which make up the center pivot for the movable hinge leaf did not get loosened or stressed. The late Craig Hendrickson's 55 had one of the rivets let loose which caused one hinge to fly apart and cause some grief. Don't remember if he had any body damage but do remember him saying it let go suddenly and raised or came down crooked. He said it was a project to get the lid aligned and get things working again.
