I realize that getting new hinges is the best thing to do, but can the hinges be repaired with the kits or is it a waste of time? Thanks for your help.

The kits are just fine and are easy to install. Just follow the instructions.
If any painting is requires just keep the paint off of the rollers.

To repair them yourself all you need is a bench vise, cutoff wheel, power drill and an allen wrench. Instructions are included, very easy stuff.

rb69, if you just need pins and bushings you can get them at NAPA or Arnold's motor supply-Iowa based store. I bought my kits from Year one because they offered the most complete kit, new pins bushings, rollers and springs. No other dealer sold the complete kit...Eric
