Got my new Fesler hood hinges for the 64

[camcojb]

Chris is just finishing up the 64 Chevelle hinges, and opted to let me try them out for final fitment.

Installation was very easy, the only snag is that I had to slightly trim a portion of the inner fender to clear the rear arm of the hinge, all cars may not need this. Took off about 1/4" here on each side....

The rest of the install was very easy. They have much more adjustment than my factory hinges, and on my car actually allowed the hood to open even further than stock. Quality is very nice, and I think it really makes a big difference in the underhood look.

Those look awesome Jody!! I want to get a set in black for my Camaro. I hate stock 2nd gen hood hinges. They suck.

I can appreciate that Allen. My stick hinges rubbed and peeled the paint off the arms, hard to keep them nice.

Very cool. That motor is sick.

We are on them now, should be able to ship a few sets out in the next week so you can have them by that show. We were waiting on a car to come back in here and could not get it in time so we teamed up with Jody for final fitments.

He had to trim a little and we would like to build them so you dont have to do that. We are looking at that right now to see how much it will slow them down. If you are OK with triming I will get a set out to you ASAP. You dont see the trim but its just not something we want you guys to do. Problem is you move one thing and it causes all kinds of problems.

Keep in mind guys this is a one year application and we built it for you guys because of all the request. I am glad that Jody likes them and they really finish off his sick engine. I think most people will miss the hinges because of all the engine work and turbos:unibrow:

Jody,

I just wanted to thank you for testing these out for us and letting us know what you think. We get a lot done but when we have to wait for cars to come back in it sucks. Its great to know we have this site where you guys can test and let us know what you think or how a part works. I might be able to get this car to SEMA and will check today if you are intersted in doing it in our outside spot?

Chris, do the camaro hinges allow the hood open more than stock ones ?? That would be really good reason for me to bay a pair

We are reworking them right now to do that so the answer will be yes, when we redesign them it will open up more if the cowl allows that is what we are working on now.

I don't think that's gonna happen. It should see Power Tour next year though, that'll be a blast.

Yeah, that's why I said "wish". We'll have to hook up again sometime though. I'll see if I can talk Vince into a road trip.
