I think markeb01 might run without inner fenders. He usually monitors this section pretty closely, but you might PM him.

Porterbuilt makes some hinges you might want.

Re: hood mounting with no inner fenders???

Did someone say cheap? I got a set of stock firewall mounted hinges from a old dodge dump truck and modified them. It was pretty easy,just had to make firewall mounting area about 1" longer and then bent up some new hood mounting pads and done!!

Nate's hinges are worth every penny, though.

Re: hood mounting with no inner fenders???

you always pay for quality, and porterbuilt is very high quality.

I will be using a buick forward tilt hood hinge like others on here have.
