I recently replaced the hood on my 67 Chevelle Malibu. I went with the SS hood (note: this is not a clone but kept malibu with 383 stroker). Anyway, I was recently told by the painter that I probably need new hood hinges since the hood is not closing crisply.

I plan to order hood hinges and springs.

Question one: What was the original color on these hood hinges and springs for a 67 Chevelle ?

Question two: Any problem with going with reproduction hinges since they are apparently as good as GM original and almost $30.00 less per hinge. This is not a show car so not worried about being "correct" on every darn part.

Thanks,

They can be either satin black or the natural color.  It's your preference.  I had mine painted black, then I changed it to the natural color so they would stand out a little more.
