Has anyone used SMS for hinges?  I was thinking about getting a rebuilt set from them.

Here is the quote I got from them in 2005:

Quote
The cost to rebuild a pair of 1970 Challenger  hood hinges is $199.00 for
the pair plus $15.90 for S&H back to your zip.
At the moment our turn around time is approx 4-5 weeks.
We also have 1970 Challenger hood hinges in stock already rebuilt that you
can purchase outright.
The core charge is an extra $75.00.This $75.00 will be refunded as soon as
we received your old hinges.
The hinges we have in stock are complete with springs in bare metal.

 :thumbsup: I have used them - cost was around $200.00 for the pair to be rebuilt - I had no problems with them and was pleased with the quality of the work
