Hood hinges
Hi
For a 69 I have a friend that needs hood hinges that open and lock before the standart GM made, he needs it due to a oil cooler in front of his water cooler.
Can they be bought somewhere??
Thx

If I understand correctly, currently his hood opens too far causing the tip to hit the oil cooler? I don't know if you can get a shorter prop but he could just convert it to a gas spring, since there are endless lengths of those. Fairly simple, I did it on my car. Here's a topic on the process: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...p-upgrade.html
