Goodmark hood hinges - Are they any good?
 
I need some new hood hinges for my '67 Lemans, and am considering buying a set of Goodmark hinges? Does anyone here have any good or bad luck with these? Thanks.

Why not buy from our sponsor on this site Ames?
They make the best on the market!

They cost quite a bit more from Ames, and for all I know, could be the same exact hinge.

Call and ask - Ames will tell you the source.

Our hinges are made by us!!!! They are the highest quality on the market in function and correctness. D132L/D132R or the kit with hardware D128B!!

I bought a set from Ames at Norwalk, and they look really nice! I'm wondering if I need to paint them or not. Not sure if they are bare metal, they appear to have some kind of coating or plating.

I have a set of Ames hinges on my 66. They fit and function great!

Did you paint them?

They've been on my car less than a year and still look like day one. No plans to paint, unless the finish changes.

They are are phosphate... no need to paint just add some wd-40 on occasion with a towel. Remember cheaper isn't always better.

Thank you! Now I gotta put those springs on!

You can have yours rebuilt by Rowland Hall.

I bought a set from NPD and the hinges seem to do the job, but the springs are weak! My steel '67 Bird hood drops about a foot or so below fully open.
