Fusick Automotive Products (Olds repro parts vendor) sells reproduction hood hinges and springs. The hinges are $79.50 each and the springs are $15 each (catalog is a year or two old).
The finish on these repros isn't the same as the originals....the repros are either e-coated (black) or plated with a shiny black oxide plating. The original finish is a dark grey phosphate plating (dull appearance w/other characteristics the repros don't have). I can't attest to the quality/durability of them but don't recall reading any complaints about them. I don't think they were "made" by Fusick like a lot of parts they are responsible for (the parts THEY "spearhead" are designated in their catalog with the "Fusick" script/logo next to the pic of the part in their catalog).
Someone here should have a nice original set that could be re-phosphated. I'll look around my stash and ask around as well.
