Re: hood molding

It is not the brackets or the moulding. It is the hinge itself that is worn - totally common. I see that you have had the hood split already at the welds...it a REALLY fussy job to try to repair the hinge portion. On my last two restorations, I had a new hinge installed (from a streetrod supply catalogue), including revised front and rear brackets. Fantastic result, including the ability to have both sides raised at the same time - betcha never seen that before.

Paid a fortune to have this done, and only a small fortune the second time....sorry have sold the cars, so I don't have pictures of this detail, but boy was it nice to re=engineer that blasted hinge....
