Hood questions

[markrazz]

so after looking at my hood I do see that there is a little crease on top from the old hinges I’m guessing.
Can I just replace the hinges to make the hood close properly or do I need to get a replacement?
Where is the best option for replacement hinge if I can go that route?
The ones I see listed have no springs do I need to get those also or are the aftermarket ones without?

I’m assuming this is a 73-80?
Make sure the hinges are well lubed, buy or make some hood reinforcement braces to stiffen the weak area that bends.
