Datsbad (Jason Huber) from G Force Designs Concepts (new site sponsor)
installed them on my 65 Fastback.
Jason discovered that one of the added bonuses is that these hinges provide a lot more adjustability for the hood fitment than the standard hinges.
I have a fiberglass hood that did not quite fit perfect.
The billet hinges allowed him to get a much better fit for the hood.. :yes:
Perhaps he will posts some pics..

thanks for the plug there Scott.
We have a couple sets of these and the adjustment is a great help on the mustangs . I dont believe the camaro hinges have that feature and yes they do look better than the ones at SEMA!

Yep I noticed that as well. Still look nice tho.
Also nice to see the radiator support closeout panel as developed on Stuart's car. Should be a popular item.

I'd say they are well worth it- value is as value does. The stock hinges suck to keep detailed (ok- a very petty reason, but oh well).
Plus, it's $599 that goes toward an American company keeping Americans employed. Keeps me from buying $600 worth of crap at WallyWorld.

I think DSE makes beautiful stuff and I'm all about spending cash on my car, especially when it is an American company. However cash is such a limited thing for me at this time, I just jumped a bit when I saw the price and thought "it's hood hinges". I've purchases some things from them and plan on buying more from them this summer.

Whenever I go to my wife and try to share my excitement by telling her about a car I am looking at or a cool part that I had just purchased...
Yes that is the same look I get as well... :goofy: :lol:
Venus Mars I guess..

Anyone have a picture of the new style other then the one at SEMA? Also are they as strong as the stock ones? Do you need a hood pole to hold up the hood? I would like to see one if anyone has a picture of the one DSE is selling. There website is not a clear picture.
Thanks

Well quit thinking so loud then. :D But seriously, someone needs to get a set annodized black or at least photoshopped black so I can see what it would look like.

It's hard to tell but are the ones being sold now made of aluminum? It almost looks like stamped steel or something? It's hard for me to tell.
