Title: Hood hinge restoration
Post by: TLea on March 26, 2026, 07:41:06 AM
Anybody have a recommendation for someone rebuilding hood hinges with correct style rivets. I always used Rowland Hall but all his contacts are kicking back so thinking he retired and hopefully nothing worse. Not interested in the guy in Virginia. Thanks

Unfortunately, Rowland Hall passed away.

Wasn't Shelby Parts and Restoration once providing this service?

Tim,
One long time advertiser in Hemmings is SMS in New Hampshire. May be worth a call. Very sad to here about Roland-his work was very nice, and he will be missed by many "Car restorers"

That was my fear about Rowland. He was a true craftsman. I'll try to find SMS
