Billet Hood Hinges

**TEDDYS CAMARO** · 12-15-2005

I just talked to Jim at Ring Brothers, and I asked him if he had Billet hood hinges for 2nd gen Camaros. He said he has them for 64-70 Mustangs, 67-69 Camaros, and Chevelles. I am going to send him a hood hinge from a 2nd gen. Camaro, and he said it would probablly take 2-3 months to design and make. Maybe we could get a group purchase price. Any thoughts??

I AM 100% IN.

presuming they'll work for birds too...i would hope they will. If chevy was crazy enough to manufacture different hood hinges for the same basic car, then no wonder they're in such trouble now!

**ViperBlue68** · 12-15-2005

how much for the 68 Camaro ones???

**importkiller69ss** · 12-15-2005

is there a web site to look at the hinges for the first gens

**TEDDYS CAMARO** · 12-15-2005

The website is under consruction.

**Rybar** · 12-15-2005

I might be interested in a pair for a '69 depending on the price.

**Damn True** · 12-15-2005

There was a thread about these over on Lat-G.

You guys are gonna choke when you see the price.

Those dudes need to step away from the bong.

**formula** · 12-15-2005

Edit: just found the lat-G thread...looks like i am 100% out if they really try to sell them at that price point.

what ever theyre smokin aint no normal stuff.

**colt zantop** · 12-15-2005

whats the price for first gens...??? im curious......

**BMF Machine** · 12-16-2005

I just heard the price. 800 for a set of machined Hood Hinges is a good buy. And it would definetly impress me! Some engines look so good, it only makes since to go a little further.

Roughly $800.00. But Maybe We Could Get A Group Purchase. Unless Someone Else Is Making Them. They Said It Would Take 2-3 Months.

**Travis B** · 12-16-2005

sorry guys I think they are well worth the money! In fact I guess if you think you can make them cheaper then more power to ya.

My builder G Force Design Concepts (Datsbad on this board) just received a set for their 67 Fastback project and they look awesome
Datsbad talked me into buying a set for "Quicksilver" my 65 Fastback.
I was told that they would be $800.
I agree that is a bunch of money for hood hinges.
But they are extremely cool.
They are a perfect fit IMO on my car and they will finish off my engine compartment nicely.
Sometimes it is nice to be able to do things that are not "practical"
Besides my Mr.T starter set is complete
so I don't need any more Gold Ropes.

Did They Have Them In Stock Or Did You Have To Wait For Them To Make The Hinges?

**Damn True** · 12-16-2005

$800 HOOD HINGES?!?!?!

Worth the money? Uh.....how so?

D & R sells repops for $37.50. You can get chrome repops for about double that.

IMO, there are a lot more important places on a car to spend $760. That is unless you just enjoy telling people, "Yup, I paid $800 for those billet hood hinges." LOL!

OK so lets say you build a a 69 camaro since thats what everyone here seems to love you spend 60k in parts, you have a engine compartment that is unlike any other camaro......would you rather have 40 dollar ugly stamped hinges or nice billet ones! To each is own I guess. But when figure the time and money spent to design, fabricate, market and assemble a product as nice as that...then there you have $800 if you don't want them fine don't buy'em but don't come on here and say "there smokin crack" "800 for hinges thats insane" just keep your mouth shut and go on! leave the 800 dollar hinges for someone else

**Damn True** · 12-16-2005

Keep my mouth shut? I think not. Formula and viperblue asked for information/opinion. They got it.

I s'pose its a value system thing. Clearly I value stuff in which form follows function. You see things in a profoundly different light.

...and eight bones for something that does the same thing as something that costs $40 seems silly to me. That is my opinion. I am just as entitled to have it, and voice it as you are with yours.
I'll thank you to never, ever tell me to keep my mouth shut again.

**Travis B** · 12-16-2005

I guess I missed the part where they asked if the hinges were worth $800. I just see people asking how much...and then I see people saying "oh those aren't worth that"

And your right you have your opinion I have mine and the ring brothers have theres......not really a big deal to me just the internet!

**68fusion** · 12-17-2005

Well I am glad that not everybody likes the same things....or else everybody would have a 69 camaro with Z stripes and TTII's ....oh wait that is reality!
joke - laugh - hahaha- nudge - nudge

**datsbad** · 12-17-2005

You guys that cant afford them or think there silly just dont respond , you have nothing to prove and we that do buy them dont care what you think !

I bought 3 sets . Damn I am so stupid !

As for you guys thinking your gonna call up the ring brothers and get a set for your 69 camaro are wrong . Aint gonna happen , TRUST ME !

I bet $800 hood hinges on Bob Johnson cuda would seem very cheap . Probably the cheapest thing on there if that was the case! But wait a set of stockers would have saved him some money and he could have got a carbon fiber set of license plate bolts.

AS for TEDDY I hope you get your hinges , you would like them !
