YES!

Leave the bottom hinge pin about 1/4" longer than the top.  (you have to make the top pretty short so that the door clears the fender.)  This way you can start the bottom, then fit the top.  (instead of holding the door and trying to start both at the same time.)

If that made any sense.   ???

Thread over on pirate.  Don't think it's great at describing what to do.

Hack up all four fender hinges per the picture.  Make the bottom pins 1/4 longer than the top. Weld the pin to the hinge. 

6 months so far, doors work like a charm.  On/off in under 2 minutes.  No additional help required.
