Here are a few pics of the billet hood hinges from Ring Brothers Performance (http://www.ringbrothers.com/). They are absolutely incredible.

What you can't see is the minute changes in machining that were done to accomodate the annodizing. The shoulder area was opened up so the bearings could be pressed in without damaging the annodizing, so theres now a step in each of the points that have pressed in bearings.

Someone should make up a set of hinges for the deck lid that allow more adjustability and use the gas cylinders.

Does anyone know if the distance in between the mounting holes on the hood are the same for a chevelle and a camaro???? I would like to use a set of these on my chevelle. Or do they make them for A-bodys?

Looks good, the silver doesn't look bad on my car given the other silvers I have in the engine bay, but I like the black better.

Are those yours or is that a spy pic?

They're mine. Charley got a set as did Stielow.

If anyone wants them in black, just get a hold of Ring Brothers Performance (http://www.ringbrothers.com/).

As for fitment to an A-body, Jody and I have been talking about that. The hood mounting slots on the hinges are 12" on center and the hinge bolt slots that bolt the hinges to the inner fenderwell are 8" on center.

Hey how about a lateral-g group buy from Ring Brothers! Let's get something going.

Hey how about a lateral-g group buy from Ring Brothers! Let's get something going.

I would be more than willing to work a group buy on 5, 10 and 15 sets respectively for hinges. Basically if you essentially have enough money to buy a set right now and are ready to pull the trigger let me know. Your vote will be considered a handshake that you want a set!

And in response to the 2nd gen hood hinges, they are in the build process. We're almost done with the door hinges, which have gotten a HUGE thumbs up to the few suppliers we've sent them too. So we're finishing those up, and hopefully in the near future the 2nd gen hood hinges will be done. When they are done, I'll be throwing the info up here.

I can't go into detail about the Camaro build because we're keeping it under wraps, and when it's done Ill have a huge documented build up along with a video documentary on it. Ill give you one little bit of info though, it's not getting an LS motor... it's getting something a little bit cooler =) I'll leave it at that. PM me if your interested in group pricing.

Thank you Nick for your reply. Ill PM you about hinges.

One more idea; Could you consider makeing your own "build books" of ringbrother crations like Kona,Reactor and up coming projects? I would give easily 50 bucks each if done and printed nice ( Like orginal build books ) I have no idea if team killeen is allready writing one of your cars but-i would like to see em all more closely than basic magazine features.

Well your in luck sir! Mr Killeen is in fact doing a build book on Reactor! As far as the other projects, there just is not enough source material (build up photos etc). Ill touch base with Scott and see when he expects it to be hitting the printers! And replied to your pm. 2 down, 3 to go!

The build book on reactor has been in the works before sema,Scott is going to be putting it out in the streets for Columbus this year,hundreds of photos have been taken,I took over 100 pics when I was building Interior,Scott said take as many pics as we could.Should be one of the better build books done so far.

Count me in for the black anodized set. I will go ahead and ebay my machined finished set that I was going to have anodized. I like the way you did the reliefs to get the bearings pressed in cleanly. Thanks Nick.

I do have one suggestion. Mine were assembled with cad plated steel button head fasteners. For the price, I expected stainless fasteners, which is what I will change them to if you do not. The potential for corrosion is too great not to. Thanks again.
