I'm looking to install a set of hinges from a 85-90 Buick Electra on my 67 Chevelle. Any thoughts, ideas, whatever, let me know. thanx, tom.

I always wanted to put one on my S-10 back in the day but never did, Seems like it would be harder to work on the engine.

Personally, the hinges on an early 90's BMW 3 series are a better setup.
In addition, several guys on the www.67-72chevytruck.com (http://www.67-72chevytruck.com) site have installed the buick hinges, not too many positives other then looking different.

depens on what your doing, might be a bit easier to work on the master cylinder and other assorted items at the back. but changing belts or a water pump could take a little bit more work depending on the set up of the hood.
