The hinge on my Judge looks like it has a silver type finish (not sure on the finish, as I bought the car restored). On the other 69 GTO, I bought it from the original owner, it has a black finish on the hood hinges that look close to the black parkerizing finish shown in the Calvan.com site. The Judge was assembled in the Fremont CA plant and the other 69 was assembled in the Atlanta GA plant. Did different plants use different platings for hood hinges?
Looks like I will try the black soulition kit from Calvan's for the bolts and fasteners. Any idea which way is correct for hood hinges?
Thanks.

I also need to do my hood hinges. I have seen a few done (in pictures) where the whole hinge & spring went into zinc phosphate & is supposed to look close to bare steel. I have not seen this in person however, So I am also curious.
