Re: need some ideas on how to fix a hood hinge
separate hood pieces are available thru dealers, and good used hoods can be found at swap meets, repairing the hinges on the thin sheet metal rarely comes out good, and most of those problems are caused by a bent or rusty hood rod, buy a new one

Repro hoods don't always fit right. Try to find a good original. Bert's in Denver sometimes has some.
