: Fesler now has billet hood hinges for 64's

Chris is just finishing up the 64 Chevelle hinges, and opted to let me try them out for final fitment.

Installation was very easy, the only snag is that I had to slightly trim a portion of the inner fender to clear the rear arm of the hinge, all cars may not need this. Took off about 1/4" here on each side....

The rest of the install was very easy. They have much more adjustment than my factory hinges, and on my car actually allowed the hood to open even further than stock. Quality is very nice, and I think it really makes a big difference in the underhood look.

Are they going to correct the fitment problem so the lip doesn't need to be trimmed?

apparently all 64's don't have as wide as a lip, as they've tested some that cleared. Mine didn't. You'd need to get ahold of Chris to see. It's so minor it's not a big deal, and my car is done, paint and all.

I imagine they cost well over several hundred dollars?

you'll need to get ahold of Fesler, not sure what he's setting pricing at.

well, they're right with the competition, plus they're the only ones doing the 64's and some of the others. I understand though.

Fesler just posted on Lateral-G that they are going to change the design to give the clearance for those with the wider lip.

I had a feeling they were going to be well over 500 plus. No thanks.
