Re: Who makes a GOOD hood hinge??
Yeah, I will see when I get to that point. I do tell you one thing I never want to hear again, and that's the big boom sound one makes when the main rivet bust....lol If the truck had been running, I would have thought something had went seriously wrong.

Re: Who makes a GOOD hood hinge??
I can also vouch for Willie. He did a set of 71 cuda hinges for me a few months ago.

Re: Who makes a GOOD hood hinge??
Somewhat related question, How easy is it to check hinges to see if they need rebuilding? Do you just pull the springs and see if you can feel side to side slop (removed from the truck, obviously)?

Re: Who makes a GOOD hood hinge??
My truck isn't a show truck neither. At least not yet. But I be damned if I paint the truck and damage is caused by the hood by the paint. I have to a lot of pride in my vehicles. If it was all rusted out, I would still be contemplating the same decision. I am not doubting his work on them sweet hinges. If it was my daily driver, I would just go with a set. But, I am going to have this truck for many years to come, so I will probably get the better set for the extra cash.
