  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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.

    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.
