Hood Hinge Solution? (Bent Hood)

[bd94s10]

My 79 has the Mr. Gasket hood brace kit on it. Although the previous owner didn't put the front 2 screws in the driver side so the hood still bent to hell. I'll be installing them on the other hood I picked up locally. Here is the kit that Brothers sells & LMC Truck. Same concept.

There are nicer billet hood hinges etc. on the market but as others have stated.. i'm convinced if you keep the stock hinges lubricated and have the braces installed you should be good.
