These hood hinges were sent out for restoration, and have been thoroughly gone through and rebuilt to better than OEM specs. The old rivets were removed, all parts media blasted, holes were machined back to round, any bent framework was straitened, checked for cracks, and new custom sized quality rivets were pressed int and pre-lubricated. We do not paint these so that you can see the new rivets pressed in and there is no cracks. Be careful buying from others that slap a coat of paint on them that could hide the fact that not all rivets were replaced or hide any cracks. Please look at all pictures as they are part of the description. Vehicles in fitment chart are according to the Hollander Interchange manual.  Please do your own research as we do not offer refunds if it does not fit your vehicle. What you see in the pictures is what you get.
