This is my first post so please don't jump down my throat if this post is wrong in some way. I am hanging a nose on a 51 Ford. I bought the car in pieces with many of them missing. My question is about the hood hinges, Do the bolts that are on the hood side have a bushing that allows the hinge arm to rotate around the bolt when the hood is lowered or raised?? Any source or anybody know a replacement solution?? I appreciate the help and great board!!
Yup, ebay has em from time to time but try Macs Antique Auto. Should be the same 49-at least 55 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury. But check before crossing somehting.
Right about the shoulder bolts. If you are working on a 51 Ford, then you need to get a Dennis Carpenter catalog. He sells all those little oddball parts you might need. Great company to work with by the way. http://www.dennis-carpenter.com/
I would suggest you buy a couple extra, they have a tendency to break off real easy. Even brand new repop ones......
