Am I expecting too much? At over $600 I thought that I wouldn't have to worry about them working at least as well as the stock hinges.

I still have a lot of other parts needed that I could put that $67.50 towards.

It's a hot rod ---- and if you can afford $600 hood hinges -- you can afford a lousy $67.50

You bought 'em from Frank. Did he install 'em? Did you spec the 260# strut? Why should the seller be responsible for someone else's mistake?
