Hello,

I am restoring a 59 Plymouth Sport Fury. The hood hinge pins are badly so that the hood is difficult to lift without binding at the bottom. Can someone direct me to a source for new hinges or the hing pins so that I can rebuild the original hinges?

About the car. It is sporting a 331 Hemi with 3x2 intake, Lunati solid lift cam, custom center sump pan, Vintage air, custom front accessory drive, pushbutton controls with a modern overdrive trans, and many more mods. You can see the pics on my website at http://www.hotroddynamics.com

Thanks,

Joe

Hey Joy welcome to the CCC, I have a couple of pr of hinges for a 58. I think 58 and 59 are the same I'm not absolutely sure I would have to check them out to see how good they are.

I checked your car out on your site and it sure is sweet. Bob

That car of yours Joe is fantastic . That accessory bracket is a work of custom art. It somehow reminds me of a Klingon hand to hand combat weapon from early Star Trek movies.

57 - 59 Bonnet hinges are all the same. I have 59 hinges on my 57 and they work and alighn fine. Ken are you a Trekker too!! I love Star trek espescially the new stuff!!

Joe,

Jason is correct about the '57-'59 Plymouth hood hinges being the same. I have about eight '59's here for parts as well.

Some of these cars were built using a 1/8" shim at the lower stud which fastens the hood at the firewall. not sure if it was an assembly issue, or a build plant issue, but some of the cars do need to have these.
