dvanecek Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 CAn some show pics and explain how the hood mounts and what pieces are needed? I have 2 hood halves, the hood ornament/curved piece, and the latch bars. What I don't have is the hindge or trim. Pics and explaination would be very helpful. Can this hinge be made some how? Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 the hinge is actually the trim...the halves attach to the cowlon one end and the ornament stand/nose on the front..the mounts are slid into the end of the hinge bar and locks with two screws at either end. Many people, especially those that are making modification to the hood set them up similar to the old buicks with the after market kits available so to hinge leff or right, not the middle as factory. If no one post pics, I will send you some by e-mail tonight...drop me a pm and your private e0mail so the make sending pics easy... it is about time you ride down from A-town and meet up with Lou and myself and kick a tire or two..

Thanks Tim. Now all i gotta do Is find the hood trim Where do you get these after market kits you speak of? Are they actually like the old buick in which you can do either one or release both and remove the hood? or are you talking about the import side hinge kits? I know I gotta get down there. I have my first baby on the way so I'm trying to get as much done on this car before Dec. I'll PM you my email. Quote
