I need more parts
I'm so glade that I bought that New Yorker!
See the bolt!! 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.....
