Detachable hood hinges. anybody try them?
Do any C2 owners here have these?
http://www.thedrivenman.com/ke/Hinges/index.htm
I am about to paint my car and I have two hoods so I can see the benefit of a product like this. I can also see myself chipping this new paint job while swapping out the hoods without them...
Any thoughts or opinions ?
OH! and if anybody can find them cheaper let me know.
thanks

I have them. They do work. Keep in mind that one side has a pin that slides into and out of a hole. So that means you have to slide the hood sideways to get it out. Watch the paint when you do that.

here is what I found....
http://www.corvettefever.com/techart...val/index.html
"The new hinges are available in black zinc coat at $179.95, or chrome for $294.95. "
I looked for their web site, but that didnt seem to work...although Corvette Fever listed them in their 2009 Restorod Guide.......
Here is the guys patent for the hinge...issued in 2006
