1956 Chevy 1/2 ton
Finished painting front fenders and hood.
Got fenders on.
This morning I got the hood back on.
I am using original hinges with new springs.
Had all that on prior to paint and everything worked mine.
I just wire brushed hinges prior to paint.
Now the hood will not stay open.
And no there is not to much bondo or paint!
Any ideas short of new hinges?
