Default 67-69 Firebird hood hinges quality?

I have needed hood hinges on my car since I got it in the 90's. I think I put just springs on 20 years ago. Looking to buy a set from Ames here. Has anyone used them? Any good or bad to report? Or tips on the installation?

You can have your original hinges rebuilt with new rivets. i would lean in this direction if they are good cores to do so.

There are a few individuals that offer this service. Do a search on this forum for hinge repair to search them out.

I seem to recall a gentleman in Tennessee was offering this service. A couple friends had theirs done and they came back perfect, very pleased.
