Hinges are worn out will not stay up properly or adjust . Other forms suggest SMS in eastern US been sold, they have Canadian tool free goes to Quebec they now just sell new hinges ,no repair of oem . What new ones are any good? Have set from H&H not good one is really loose already. Anyone know of either new ones or repair shop? Or will 1963 hinges fit if you change the mount bracket, 63 hinge looks better engineered Laurie
I don't know about reproduction Pontiac hinges, but those who have bought the Chevy ones say they are junk. There is a fellow in the US who rebuilds them, might be $200US for a set. He also refinishes them. If interested, I could see if I can find his contact info.

The hinges are back from Willie, they look great. In the mean time repaired left door hinge wow what a job remove fender only one rusted bolt cut off wheel fixed that had to remove front bumper after that easy job! Putting hood hinges/hood on later car on stands going to do front springs first. Cost $200 including paint . Laurie

Hinges on and hood on adjusts quite nice. Hinges came back with springs tried them, no good so put the oem back on work real nice. spring job was sucess found easier way with no issues. Car sits right and rides nice. Now to get speedometer closer! Laurie
