Hood hinge restoration
« on: April 15, 2008 - 03:03:55 PM »
Has anyone recently had their hood hinges rebuilt and if so where did you get it done and what do you think of the job?

I had mine done by SMS and I couldn't be happier. Sylvain did some other custom work not listed on his web site for my car, too.

May I ask you guys how much it was for a set of (1970) hood hinges to be rebuilt?
I was in touch with SMS a few years back after I almost got screwed from someone using SMS as a second party.  :swear:
 This had nothing to do with SMS being involved directly at all.
 Just cuurious if the price has changed much.
 Thanks  :thumbsup:
