I have a 73 Vega Hatchback that I would like to put hood hinges on, problem is, this is a race car and none of the original chassis where the hinges were located is there. We have located and put mounts for the pivot point and manufacture the actual hinge arms. Now to get this to work we need measurements from an actual original hood which we don't have. Our hood is a glass hood which doesn't have the reinforcement behind the surface, ours is just flat with a lip around the outside edge for strength. So we thought we would go to restorers like most of you which do have original stuff. I have managed to get a screen shot of a H- Body Pontiac from You Tube of one of your members who was modifying the hinge mounts. On the screen shot I have modified area's that we need measurements from. If you that have original hoods could give us a hand and measure your hoods we would be grateful. My file is too big so I will include a link to my one drive https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akkmp2mV8n0UxSjmWBV ... E?e=wgczo9
If you could respond in a reply with the color and measurement that would be great. Being that I have found the thicknesses of various division H- body hoods are different we thought maybe 5 samples would get us there. Thank you all for your help in advance.
