Hood Hinge Rebuilder recommendations wanted.
 
Looking for hood hinge rebuilder recommendations. It’s for 68 GTO hood hinges. They are rust free, but worn. TIA.

Wild Willie is the best! He had shoulder surgery last fall and warned me it might be a while, about three months, but he may be getting caught up by now.

He doesn't do phosphate plating, do it before sending or after you get them back.

Do it before, cause he greases the snot outta them rivets and it's a biotch to get things clean enough for any top coat to stick.

Any one car to comment on what i "think" is correct....the Hinge Pieces were Zinc Phosphated and then submerged in a Protective Oil, that makes them Dark...The
Rivets Holding the two Hinge Pieces were Manganese Phosphated (Almost Black) $
the Spring is Manganese Phosphate (also oiled)

I believe that Zinc Phosphate hinges that are left unoiled are restored incorrect......

Below is SURVIVOR 73 Camaro Hinge
NOS Spring on Left vs Zinc Phosphate on Right
Zinc Phosphate (NO Oil) is Too Light IN Color

Flame suit on................Fire Me Up

Used Brian Henderson a while back at Supercar Workshops, did a really nice job and was very reasonable. Don't know if he's still in that game.?
