Billett Hood Hinges at DSE.

I am on the list! :woot:

I have never liked the stockers.. I don't have springs on my garage door so why should I have them on my car.. :)

Yea i allready got mine they are SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:drool: Wonder how hard it would be to make them work on my roadrunner

Mine Are Already on the UPS truck !! Woo Hoo a little spendy when you convert it to Canadian $ but what the hell it's only money Right???? sorry to scoop the first set but i did pay for them a month ago

Saw them yesterday - very nice. Need a GP :)

Got mine!
 

Datsbad (Jason Huber) from G Force Designs Concepts (new site sponsor)
installed them on my 65 Fastback.
Jason discovered that one of the added bonuses is that these hinges provide a lot more adjustability for the hood fitment than the standard hinges.
I have a fiberglass hood that did not quite fit perfect.
The billet hinges allowed him to get a much better fit for the hood.. :yes:
Perhaps he will posts some pics..

Are these DSE produced or the one's the Ring Brothers came up with? Man they are cool, but spendy!

Mike

Origanaly from the Ring Brothers.....but now DSE is selling them

I see they're different from the ones that were at SEMA.

Ya I thought they looked a little different myself.

Nice.

thanks for the plug there Scott.

We have a couple sets of these and the adjustment is a great help on the mustangs . I dont believe the camaro hinges have that feature and yes they do look better than the ones at SEMA!

Those things are freakin' expensive, Holy Cow! I love DSE's don't get me wrong but those things are crazy.

there not for the faint at heart????? worth the cash if you ask me though

yeah $599 is a deal !

Yea and there worth every penny of that
my opinon 100%

Yep I noticed that as well. Still look nice tho.

Also nice to see the radiator support closeout panel as developed on Stuart's car. Should be a popular item.

I'm just curious are they going to make any that fit Chevelle's

I was ready to drop a grand (anybody remember that thread? LOL) and now I can get the hinges and the core support piece for free!! :thumbsup:

Wow, that was my thought process as well..

My wife just looks at me like this.. ----> :goofy:

LOL!!!!

I'd say they are well worth it- value is as value does. The stock hinges suck to keep detailed (ok- a very petty reason, but oh well).

Plus, it's $599 that goes toward an American company keeping Americans employed. Keeps me from buying $600 worth of crap at WallyWorld.

Yea I agree 100% man!

I think DSE makes beautiful stuff and I'm all about spending cash on my car, especially when it is an American company. However cash is such a limited thing for me at this time, I just jumped a bit when I saw the price and thought "it's hood hinges". I've purchases some things from them and plan on buying more from them this summer.

Whenever I go to my wife and try to share my excitement by telling her about a car I am looking at or a cool part that I had just purchased...
Yes that is the same look I get as well... :goofy: :lol:
Venus Mars I guess..
Scott

easy solution......don't get married....lol :yes:

I bet the hinges would look pretty nice annodized black. :unibrow:

Anyone have a picture of the new style other then the one at SEMA? Also are they as strong as the stock ones? Do you need a hood pole to hold up the hood? I would like to see one if anyone has a picture of the one DSE is selling. There website is not a clear picture.

Thanks

Scott...Quit reading my mind, dammit! :D

Well quit thinking so loud then. :D But seriously, someone needs to get a set annodized black or at least photoshopped black so I can see what it would look like.

It's hard to tell but are the ones being sold now made of aluminum? It almost looks like stamped steel or something? It's hard for me to tell.

Those two hinges are completely different.


Jody

Just called DSE. They are sending me a few photos of them up close. Ill post them when I get them.

Mike
