The Hood Hedges, Part 1 of 3
May 15th, 2004 Update

Sometime in the car's past, the hood was blow off the car. The owner did a darn good quick fix on the hinges, but they still didn't work well. Therefore, I am forced to replace the whole hood-spring-hinge system.
 
Off with the junk and a lot of hammering.  On with the new.
Boy! I hope this looks good and work right.
 The Passenger's side is by far the worst thing I have ever seen.
 It took me over an hour to reshape the mount.
 Not shown, but I had to weld reinforcement plates because the metal was so thin and twisted.
 Look, its holding.....
