Re: How good are repo hood hinges???
I have some with some new springs too. They work well. Mine were made in Argentina of all places.

Bought some with new springs as well, got them from Classic Industries last time I was down there and I have no complaints.

Re: How good are repo hood hinges???
I have heard more bad stuff than good stuff, but there might be more than one company making them. I would use the above part #'s and order them from your local chevy house. It would be worth the extra $$$$ IMO.

Re: How good are repo hood hinges???
It all depends,.......Who was the repo man? And, how careful was he when he removed the hinges? Those guys are usually in a hurry.

Re: How good are repo hood hinges???
I had some, and they were junk kept pushing the hood one way and gave me all kinds of problems. Got a pair of NOS ones and put some new springs on and bam fixed the problem.
