New hood hinges: Where to buy?

I'm in need of new hood hinges as I'll be picking up another cowl hood later next month (GlassTek 2").
I haven't found anything here with a search of thread titles.
Are the dealers still selling these?
Are there reproductions available? Does anyone have experience with them if they're out there?
I'm going to nose around a little more but thought I'd ask here too.
Thanks.

Nothing at 1A auto.

Never heard of Rick's before.
Hawks or Ricks, about $140 a pair.

I'll have to see if GM still has any. I imagine they would be pricey.

Re: New hood hinges: Where to buy?

I have ordered from ricks many of times an i have been very impressed with the quality of reproduction. I have seen many third gens at my local yard if you would like i could pick ou up a set and send them to you i could get them cheap and clean them up for you! If not keep looking I'm sure someone has a good deal!

Re: New hood hinges: Where to buy?

I've always been inclined to buy new when I can. Like you say, some of the reproductions can be pretty good. That said, there's nothing like original equipment (in most cases anyway).
I'll check with GM later in the week and see what's left in their inventory.
Thanks for the offer just the same.

You can get the new hood lift struts at Napa, or any auto parts store.
