Re: Hood hinges
Not sure if that vendor exists in today's world. I just had my original '71 Chevelle hinges rebuilt by Willie Wilson at Hood Hinge Repair. Not cheap but he has excellent on line references and reviews here and on the Chevelle forum I frequent. Just a thought, good luck with what ever you decide.

Re: Hood hinges
I bought a pair from GMC Paul, a vendor on here.
I'm happy with the fit/function of them

Re: Hood hinges
I was more than happy to replace the LMC repops with a pair of Wilson's rebuilt hinges. Now for the first time since I bought the Burban my hood closes properly.
