My 68 Malibu needs hood hinges (after ONLY 34 years they're shot!), but all of the resto-catalogs I've come across don't show hinges for 68's. Every other year EXCEPT 68! Must be the bastard child of Chevelles? I happen to think it's the BEST year for Chevelles, but I may be a bit biased on this matter. Any of you other 68 fans out there know where to dig up 68 resto parts, I would appreciate your help. Thanks!

I have a couple of sources for used parts on the my side of our state. Jim at R-n-R racing has some used parts and probably come up with a set of hinges(used) for you. His phone # is (503)260-3738. He is actually in Camas WA .I have had good luck dealing with him. Good luck

If you opt to have your specimins REBUILT to factory specs, then I can email the address of a hinge rebuilder (rebuilds that special rivet connection etc). I think 150$ approx plus shipping.Shawn

If you do order some, make sure you get the right ones..... two configurations were used on the '68, early and later (early is flat and the later is stepped hood mounting).
