Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
I just want to give anybody heads up if your looking to get your hood hinges rebuilt. I just got mine done by Wilson Antique Parts out of Forest, VA. He did an awesome job with fast turn around time. I was having a heck or a time getting my hood to line up with the fenders and grill and it just wouldn't shut very good. I sent my hinges to Willie at Wilson Antique Pats to get rebuilt and when I got them back and installed them my hood was a perfect fit and shut very smooth. Needless to say I am very impressed with his work and would absolutely use him again. Check him out www.hoodhingerepair.com

Re: Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
Awesome thanks for the info. What did the repair cost you and what was done to rebuild them?

Re: Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
Super good information. I rebuilt mine myself, but if I'd known then, I would have defiantly sent them out.

Re: Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
Thanks for link - rare to find someone that does this stuff. just buying new hinges does not always make things any better. tip about using Sea Foam Deep Creep is a good thing to know too.

Re: Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
Bought mine about 2 years ago now.
Very nice customer service and Willie is a great guy. Here is the thread on it.   http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=525638

Re: Hood Hinge Rebuild Recommendation
tried the Sea Foam Deep Creep lubricant on hood hinges - really worked good, better than WD-40, silicone, etc
