I am posting this again because i just cant stand my hood sticking up on one side anymore and i need some Hood hinges that are in good condition.
Thanx

Good used hood hinges will be very hard, if not impossible to find. I suggest that you look into buying new.

im going to get pics for you after while on the ones i offered, but if your hood is sticking up it can just be the adjustment of the hinges... have you tried adjusting them to get em down?

Chevy 68 what do they look like?

did you adjust the hinge downward on that side? just open the hood and loosen up the two bolts that hold the hinge to the fender. then lift up on the front of the hood and the hinge will rotate downward. then just tighten up the bolts

Yes I tried adjusting but the hinge is broken. There is a flat piece at the bottom of the two arms of the hinge that has two big rivets through it that is supposed to hold them in place and it broke therefore when the hood is closed it sticks up on the passenger side about 1/4 of an inch.

Mine does the same on the drivers side. I will be trying all of the advice as well and if that doesn't work buying new. :p
