I seen a while back that someone restores these springs?? Just wondering if you guys know the best one that does the rebuild on them. Ya'all haven't failed me yet.

Thanks

Rick Kreuziger <restoemail@gmail.com> did my hood hinges and did a fantastic job.

If possible would like to get a couple of choices? At least have an option.

I would ask about the pitting whoever does it to make sure that is included or not.

Yes it is pitted, does your guy take care of that.

Can't take pits out. You would have to weld them up and grind them back flat.
No one is going to do that.
Plenty of used hinge parts out there if you are looking for a better set. Just make sure that you get the correct ones if you are fussy.
They all work but there are at least 3 different versions on the E-body hood hinges depending on the year.
