Anybody know where I can get replacement CMC hinges?

Well, he doesn’t list them on his site, but give him a call and ask. He bought a lot of the remaining inventory after CMC imploded.

Maybe @Alan Merklin might know if a VS hinge would fit.
Maybe Alan can confirm if VS parts (not affiliated with VS at all) ones will fit. $29.30 each but $25 flat shipping.

They looks same as one on Vintage Motorcars where they are $32.50 each.
I can't confirm 100% as I haven't bought those... looks the same ~
@WOLFGANG Good seeing you and meeting your Brother !
Ordered from Greg
Thanks to all....
Did the hinges you ordered fit?
I've only got 2 holes on the pillar and the hinges I am seeing at different vendors have 3 mounting holes.
Here's the ones shown in an early CMC build manual -

@vividsol You're asking the group to identify your Speedster body and you've given us little to nothing from which to fathom a guess. Post pictures of the entire driver's side, rear, passenger side, front, interior, engine bay, front trunk, etc in your original thread and you might get your answer.
My CMC came with doors already mounted so not much help. I've not seen 2 bolt hinges used. I'd get the 3 bolt ones. Here's the instruction that go with the pictures I posted above.

@vividsol, if you become a supporting member you can download the CMC build manual which might be helpful to you. That might work better than waiting for Wolfgang (Greg) to post individual pages.
"Did the hinges you ordered fit?"
Nope, I ordered only one from VS and it was too thick when the door was closed. So I moved the bad one from the top of the driver's door to the bottom of the passenger door. One of the screw holes had broken, and the bushing was loose. It is fine...for now.
Perhaps the VS hinge would be a good starting point if you could modify it with the proper tools and lots of patience...
