hood hinge

[malibud]

In the middle of cleaning out engine bay for sand blasting ..Can I take of the hood hinge is it spring loaded ? I guess the real question is can I get it back in ? also what color is it suppose to be ? thanks

The hinges are the same color as the body. They are easy to get out and back in. Does yours have the bars that connect the hinges across & behind the grill? That's what gives them some tension to keep up the hood I'm guessing. I've seen the hood function fine without those bars.

Just take a picture of them first, so you remember how they go back in.
