desoto1939 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 The original hood hinge foe the butterfly style hood were pot metal. I have seen on ebay a stainless steel hood hinge. The nice part about SS is that you can buff the hinge and they willnot pit. But on the originals the end at the fron of the hood was capped off or filled in and at the rear of the hood it was open. Most people will not know the difference. You need to use the inner bracket to hold the hinge in place to bolt it down on the cowel and the radiator grill. Go with the SS unit it is also cheaper than finding an NOS and then having to plate it and you can have it cut to the size you need. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com Quote
