I  haven't replaced my door hinges yet, found some NOS ones, but plan to use
a  couple of scissors jacks but also I am going to stabilize the door  from
above with a couple of winch straps through the door window  opening,
hanging those off the garage door rails.

Also remember that  when you remove a door, the body of the car will shift
unless you stabilize  that with jack stands.

Mark the hinges on the frame and door so you  install them in the same
place, as a start.
