Default door hinge

i have what i believe to be a very early body. it is on a custom frame. the doors have a metal plate inside them - with two large holes in front for the hinges. It does not seem to be configured for the generic hoop frames i see at most suppliers. does anyone have this type door/hinge setup? if so, where can i find the proper hinges? (same story on the door latches, they are cut out for install, but i have no latches, the "original" style latches don't look like they will fit the cutouts) i will have to fab some sort of hinge mount on the frame, and all of the firewall, my car has neither.....
if anyone has installed the generic hoop hinges on the hood and trunk, i would be interested in seeing how they mount to the body... my hood and trunk have threaded holes for the plates - but the body doesn't seem to have any bosses for the hinge bracket.
thanks
