    Would one be able to pull hood hinges off another model...say mustang? My hood hinges are getting pretty bad after sitting for the last 3 years. Going to try to get them lubed up and operating a little smoother but may have to shop for some new hinges. For a '72 maverick

    Guess I'll start shopping! Got some other stuff to get fixed up too. Needs some TLC after sitting.

    Shame on you Tyler for letting your baby sit for so long. Hope all is well with you and life. There are some people on this forum that can help you with your quest (not me) but I got a nice set from a person here and he had another set

    oh I know. It was sad watching it and not giving it enough attention! I'll browse around a little more when I'm ready to buy some if i can't get them operating a little smoother. hoping a good clean up and lube up will help out. We need to get together sometime!

    I'll keep that in mind. Do you have a website or anything parts/inventory related? I may be in the market for other items in the near future!
