The easiest way is to get the hood hinges off of a early 90's buick from a junkyard.

I love the look, but it must be a PITA to work in the trunk without taking the lid off.

That's why I like the Buick hinges. My trunk site suicide and standard.
But I like the way that Coupe looks with the hidden hinges. :thumbsup:

So "site" means your trunk opens regular and suicide?

Thanks for posting the picture anyway. I guess I figured it out now. That is pretty cool BTW. :thumbsup:

That's supposed to "sits". Next time I'll be more careful so as not to confuse you.
Thanks for the props

LOL...gotcha now. So those are the hood hinges off the 90s LeSabre? I remember those opened suicide, so how did you get it to open standard too? I really like that setup now that I see its dual functionality.

The springs that come on the hinges from the factory are weak and the trunk wanted to close when it was open standard style. I replaced them with some stainless steel ones from Home Depot and they're a lot stiffer and hold it up.

 

[Badass94Cad]

Yeah, but are those the hinges from the 90s LeSabre? I don't remember those being reversible, just suicide.

I got off a LeSabre. I think it was a 92'.

OK, we're almost there...(man, I feel like a dentist! ) So are those reversible stock, or did you do something to alter it? I remember those hoods being only suicide, but it's been a while since I've been under the hood of a 90's LeSabre. :cheesy:

Thanks,
