Default Reproduction Hood Hinges Any good?

Has anyone tried the reproduction hood hinges that are on the market. I think my 68 firebird needs new ones. GM are 99.00 each repro are 39.00 each.

Steve -
The repros will work, but they are pretty flimsy. We picked up a pair for the car to use as modification templates. They were definitely better than the 38 year olds ones on the car.
