Hood hinge restoration

[BillP]

Any recommendations to get my hinges restored on my 68 500? The driverside has play and the corners wont pull down anymore.

Thank you
Bill

This is only tightened and not restoring but slop can sometimes be taken out of the hinge by tightening up the rivet. The short answer is to take off the hinge then place the loose rivet portion on a strong steel backing surface like an anvil or similar and hammer the remit tighter. I use a tool the shape of the cross rivet design.
