Mike, Do you have a set of original hinges? They can be refurbished https://www.hoodhingerepair.com/about/ A friend of mine sent a pair of 61 Impala hinges and they came back perfect. I was impressed by his service.
only 68 hinges at present time. although a 69 car was in local junkyard owner wants sell complete+ one hinge was froze.
Good to know Dave. Thx! Seems like for the '69's this is the way to go & even for the '70-72's - Will have to check all mine for wear. Seems essential to have them tight to properly align front end sheetmetal.
Bruno, I think you might have 10 of every part ever made for a Buick.... I myself need to figure out how I can get some of those hard to find parts.
