Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)

thats exactly what you describe. when I tried to close the hood, hings almost flex to side and almost run out of the car..

I removed the lower hinge clips to close hood.. when I need to open it, I put a big wood stick to keep it opened (an old broom)

I think you know it with a very very bad experience :angry7:


I'm not sure if they are the same as 67-69 cuda´s; I found a picture here in Fabo
as I know, Brazilian darts are based on 68-69 American darts

Alex...you will want to weld a washer on the post that the hinges slide over....I guess it's the same as 67-69 cuda's?

The hinge will press off the clip that holds it on now if allowed to flex side to side that much and the hood will fall on the cowl ruining your bodywork/paint. sounds like th ebushings on the hinge are shot and some weldomatic work is required...

Ask me how I know.....ooops.
