Hood hinges... back!


Recommended Posts

Decided to go with the resto service Andreas mentioned - Wilson Antique Car Parts.

 

Blasted, powder coated my choice of gloss black, new rivets, new springs installed, oiled, and wrapped for shipping like they were going to be dropped directly from the airplane! It was no small feat getting all the wrapping off, but I'm glad for it. Those things could have survived an Ace Ventura-style treatment.

 

And they look fantastic:

Hard to get a detailed picture showing everything since they're so black without a ton of light. This was just with the camera flash inside.

Will do. It will probably be a month or so before I get the radiator core support blasted/coated, front suspension mounted, fenders hung, and *then* the hood so I can have everything there to line up and finish bolting down the body to the frame.

 

And there will definitely be pictures of the first time it's looked close to a car in... jeez, 8 years??
