hood hinge question

Post by Billybobjunky »

what would it take to put '73-'79 hood hinges on a '67? I would like them on the inner side of the fender wells unlike the stock position on the outside on the '73-'79s, so I think if I flip their sides, that'll solve that problem. I assume i'd need to drill new holes and whatnot. Thanks guys!

The mounting flange for the hood on the '73-up hinges goes the opposite way. I suppose they could be made to work....with a lot of work....but why?? :hmm:

You'd also have to reinforce the inner fenderwell (and not just use large washers) or the hinges will rip through that thin metal on the fenderwell.
