Al's 71C10 Rebuild - Page 59 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I received my "EMS" billet hood hinges from Justin @ "Scotts hot rods" as usual super fast service. This hinges are totally bad ass they are super well built. Installing them is simple but adjusting for hood aligning it is a total pain in the culo. I got the hood as align as I could it is still not perfect but it will do untill I get this truck fully torn apart in the future. Anyhow here are some crappy sell pictures to show what it came out like.

I hate to laugh, but it's funny to those of us that do anything that ought to be drop-dead simple and it turns into a big deal faster than you can say WTF. I never would have guessed swapping hinges would be a big deal. Were your old hinges worn out?

Fine looking addition nonetheless.

My old hinges werent bad but they did nothing in the looks of the engine compartment. Putting the hinges and hood on took a whole five minutes but the one thing that has always being a huge pain has been aligning that hood .

Like another friend of mine said that if it was simple and easy everyone would be doing it
