Kevin, The hinges and springs were natural
steel color. GM used a phosphate coating. Most people seem to paint them.
If you want the natural look try sandblasting them and paint with a satin
clear coat. I like using Eastwoods silver cadnium paint, but this is not
correct.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Hood hinge

Does anyone know the correct color/finish for
the hood hinges on a '68 Chevelle? I've seen them satin black, gloss
black, and "cast grey". I'm not sure what color they originally
were.... Thanks in advance.
Also, with Ed's help I think I finally solved
the AC dash vent issue. The 68 and 69 dash vents are in fact the same,
but they are DIFFERENT than the 66-67 vents. Anyone who sells a vent
that claims to fit 66-67 & 69 Chevelles doesn't know what they
have. Most likely, it's a 66-67 vent ONLY. Thanks to all that
helped me decipher this, especially Ed who was kind enough to send me one of
his vents to work with.
