cowl vent hinge
Would anyone have fix for a stuck cowl vent hinge on a 37 open car ? I guess I could drill out rivets and replace with bolts. I've soaked hinge for days, no luck. Thanks for any help.

If 37 is anything close to 33-34 on this the rivets should be well out on arms away from the cowl . Cover all you don't want to bother with damp towels and you should be able to do this without hurting anything .

Re: cowl vent hinge
I have used the melted wax method on lots of stuff and it usually works. Put candle wax on the hinge rivet and heat it up with a heat source. The heat will draw the wax into all the crevices and break the rust hold it has on them.
