Check the April 2012 issue of Smoke Signals. Detailed article in there on hinge problems and repair. Also, the author can repair/restore yours, if so desired.

On the Home page they state "Hinge Restoration", I think that they should claim rebuild not restoration.

They look great other than the generic rivets. They need to use correctly marked rivets to really be a restoration. I am currently working on the fault.

X2. Roland did the hinges on my '64 GTO and they came out awesome. He's a mechanical engineer by trade and hand makes each rivet in his shop. Very impressive operation. He's a Pontiac guy too with a very nice '65 GTO (original owner).
