Door Hinge Backing Plate

I spent half the day yesterday drilling out broken bolts on the door hinges. I was able to retap 3 of them on the top driver side. Question is how can i gain access to the backing plate to get a new one burned and tapped?

Sorry, but you can't. :( The 'A' pillar that they are in is inaccessible. :evil: You might be able to touch it by reaching in through the dash.

I tried going through the dash, well then looks like i might have to cut out the bottom left hand kick panel and gain access through there. I can always weld it back in or fab up some tabs for some nut serts. Thanks for the info i kind of thought so but i thought i would give it a shot and ask. BTW i did find vin on the frame and on the motor but i lost so much time yesterday on the door hinges. I will get you those pics this week. I did make it to the mud yesterday though :D
