hoodhingerepair.com Rocks !
Just wanted to give a shout out to Willie over at http://www.hoodhingerepair.com/ for fixing up my 72's hood hinges like new.
I got them back in a week and for an excellent price. Thanks Willie ! Grumpy

What services does he offer? Complete restoration of hood hinges? The passenger side hinge on my 69 is tweaked and I either have to have it redone or just replaced.

Well after checking out that site, he might get my hinges as well. Everything he listed about bad hinges is what mine do.

Heard nothing but good things about his work. Mine aren't too bad, should last another year or two then he'll probably get mine. The repro ones are chunk. Car had a set when I bought it. I bought another set and they only lasted a few years, then I found a used set of original hinges.

And the aftermarket hinge prices are nuts; I was looking at some on another site and a supplier was selling some made from different metals and finishes and the base price was $495 up to $595. Talk about being proud of something but that was ridiculous....

Hey Willie... I am thinking of sending you a pair of 72 door hinges and the hood hinges and latch I will get to you in Charlotte this spring. You do awesome work.
