billet hood hinges for early A-bodys

[COYBILT]

Does anyone have hood hinges yet for these cars?
GTO, Chevelle,442, etc 1964-1967 I believe that the chevelle has the same hood hinges as the goat. Please let me know if anyone makes them.
Oh and detroit speed seems to make a windsheild wiper motor for the early A-bodies. I cant seem to find it on there website, can anyone direct me on that one too.

I've tried twice leaving messages about those, but nobody has returned my call. For the 64's you'd need the horizontal shock and no arm sticking down like Fesler does. It's also the same pivot points, geometry, and fender mounting pattern as the 67-69 Camaro. The top piece that bolts to the hood is different though, so that'd be the only thing they'd have to fab.

The only thing though, the 64 stock hinges are different part numbers than 65' which are different than 66's, etc. Almost every year shows different numbers, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be interchanged I guess. I haven't tried, other than to take mine and lay them over stock 69 Camaro hinges, and saw they're identical other than the top piece.

Ditto on my '66, get asked about it so much I carry DSE's business cards in my console.

I also have talked to DSE about the billet hinge question because of the hinge and p/n similarity to the Gen 1 F-body. They said they'd looked at that but the F-body hinge they make would contact the inner fender on an A-body, and there's no way I'm cutting them up for that.

this is why this forum is so great, I get instant responses on everything.
I am really looking into the DSE wiper motor, Its worth it because its not so damn ugly like the stocker. I am interested about the hood hinges too, I think if you camcojb,my self and others get together we could get fesler to think about building them.

I know Fesler is suppose to be working on them, but don't expect them anytime soon. Several other cars are in line to be done first. They have had a bunch of requests for them I have been told.
