JohnC...yeah I was suprised the Terracuda was using stock hinges. Figured they would have made some one offs...

Anyway....I spoke to the guys at Ring Bros about 6-7 months ago and they are developing some for the Mopars. Talked to Mike Ring at SEMA and they are still in the works but unlikely to be released until summer...you know how that goes....

I spoke with Chris Fesler about 7 months ago too and he was interested in doing them too. I offered my stock hinges as templates and planned on sending them to him, but then got the impression the Ring Bros ones would be done soon, so just decided to wait.

XV has had some on a couple of cars and when I talked to them about 6 months ago they also said they would be available soon....

Guess that just illustrates how hard it is to develope a product and bring it to market. Sounds easy but its a ton of R&D and up front costs....plus the Mopar market is just smaller so companies are more conservative about jumping into it.
