73-75 hood hinges

[Timsar]

After finishing up my project, somehow the hood got bent at either the stereo shop or some other place, when my 19 yr old son was using it for the summer.

Now that i have to straighten the hood out somehow, i want to move away from factory stamped hinges to perhaps billet style for fit and function only.

Ps. I did buy the hood brace kit from LMC, but it didnt fit due to the humps under the hood.

Any recommendations?

stock is fine . need lubed and its more a push closed than a pull closed hood system .

and stop letting people abuse your cool stuff

I was and still careful. It is always the others that have no clue. I did LUBE it up and much smoother
