New hood hinges from Ring Brothers
 
I changed out the hood hinges with the new airframed style from Ring Brothers. These things have amazing detail.

Dang, those look sweet, man. What is the finish on those?

XcYZ 05-25-2009 10:27 PM

They call it grey, it looks like a deep titanium. I think it's pretty cool.

Spiffav8 05-25-2009 10:29 PM

Dang! :wow:

Car looks amazing...I feel like Tony Stewart in that Armorall commercial where he just stares at the car.

:captain:

Cool looking. Does it open as far as stock yet ?

nvr2fst 05-25-2009 10:35 PM

Scott, they look killer. Way to go Mike and Jim Ring for upgrading an existing product.

BTW- You most of just done this swap Scott. They werent there last weekend when I ran into you.

No, doesn't open as far as the stock hood hinges. I think about 6" less?

nvr2fst 05-26-2009 12:39 AM

Whats the cost?

mazspeed 05-26-2009 01:30 AM

Those look so slick on your red paint. I have to ask Scott, was there any photochop on the pics? That red just pops.

LowchevyII 05-26-2009 04:14 AM

Man, those things DO look great. All i can say is wow

Nope. I bought a Nikon D90 a week and a half ago and its a really nice camera. The color pops because I typically shoot at Vivid +1 and and the white balance on the warm side. That really makes the red (and all colors) come alive. :thumbsup: I have some awesome shots of my son playing soccer.


Here's a few more of the car...

Wow Scott, those hinges look great on there. The pictures are great too. Maybe I need to hire you to do a photo shoot of my car so I'd have some good pictures of it. My shots pretty much all suck.:rolleyes:

Payton King 05-26-2009 10:03 AM

I am diggin the hinges
 
I looked at the very same ones since I recently trashed mine. Just could not pull the trigger on them as I want a few other parts as well.

This is what you car looks like after the hood blows up doing 35 mph and trashes the hinges. Good thing it did not tear up my SS hood. I am sure if I had those bad boys on, my hood would have folded in half.

Your camera takes some good pics

Vegas69 05-26-2009 10:15 AM

Anything would look great on that car. Hinges are nice but the car is one of the best without a doubt. I'm going to have to see if my D80 has the same function.

redfire69 05-26-2009 11:08 AM

Ouch! That's gotta sting! Was that a stock hood latch that let go? Makes me rethink hood pins...

Very nice hinges. I hope they start making them for the A-Body crowd.

Matt@BOS 05-28-2009 02:09 PM

Quick question, what struts do you have to go with the carbon fiber hood?

I just picked up a hood from Anvil and need to replace the ones for the steel hood.

Not 100% sure, but I believe they are 135lb.

tones2SS 05-28-2009 03:59 PM

Those hinges are NASTY!:thumbsup:
Absolutely awesome craftsmanship.
Scott, your car looks KILLER!!!!:hail: :thumbsup:

buickfunnycar.com 05-28-2009 04:37 PM
