Does any one know if 1968 442 hood hinges can be rebuilt? There is a lot of play in the rivets and holes.

 

I have considered this guy, and learned about him here in this forum. I don't remember the specific post, but if you do some searching I think you'll find some happy customers from what I remember.
Mine would also be for a 68 442, but I've put the hinges on the back burner for now- been too busy with other bits.
Good luck, & Hope the info helps ..

Thank you! I emailed them this morning.

 

I know this is off-topic, but very cool. I had a tour of the plant a couple of years ago.

 

If you end up using them, once you get them back- come back here and post your experience....


joe_padavano , yeah they are cool & amazing. I really enjoy my job. Wish I could have met you on your tour- Ive given friends & family a few tours over the years, its an impressive facility & a badazz bird.

 

They are 7-8 weeks out. It will be a while.

 

Are these the one off year that the hood doesn't open all the way? I found that to be the case on my 68. PITA.

 

Yes. Oldsmobile's head-hitter 'gift' 🙄

 

Could be worse, could have added the 70 "tooth" to the hood.
