Seems some folks have used the forward-opening hood hinge setup from a late 80's Buick. My son used to have an '89 Park Avenue, so I know that model has 'em. Better hurry to the wrecking yards as some of these may have been in the Cash For Clunkers program and won't be long for the parts-taking.

I like the grill

Most late 80's buick's have the reverse opening hood

I used to own a '88 buick park avenue

They are a good choice as well because the hoods of those cars are heavy, so the hinges are designed for the weight.

Search around, I know i've seen some buil threads on this.
