Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I've seen good feedback from those who run the Eddy Motorsports hinges but they are too far out of my budget and don't fit my build plan in the least for me to ever run them.

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I have a set of Eddie Motorsports hinges for my 53 3100. I haven't installed them yet but they look very well made.

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I went with the All American Billet hinges. They open/close smoothly with a very light touch, hold any position with no slop/droop, and open fairly wide. Lifetime warranty too.

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I have the EMS hinges on my 51,they are a much better choice than the aftermarket stock style replacements.
I will say my hood does drop sometimes, usually after it’s been closed all winter. Overall I’m happy with them, I bought another set for my 64 Suburban project.

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I used the Eddie Motorsports billet hinges. They've worked absolutely fine for over 5 years
