Re: Don't Buy Hood Hinges from GMParts Direct!!

Adam, I have SEVERAL sets of good original hood hinges and can bring a set with me up to the Hoosier Auto show and swap meet this weekend--Fri & Sat. I'll be set up at space A-18.
I've never seen a set of original hinges bed up but in most cases, they wear at the hinge pivot points ---but rarely wear out to the point of being unusable. Most guys just don't know how to properly pre-load the hinges for closing the rear of the hood properly. (Believe GMC Paul may still have that trick on his "tips"). Stop by and/or send me a PM if interested----Huck
