Hand built Hood hinges
These are hand made custom hood hinges.. The pictures will ride you through the process. These are for a CJ-TJ conversion. We call the Jeep ,"Baltoro".
1. Making an exact trace using paper.



2. Tracing it onto a metal sheet and then cutting the sheet using scissors..

Look's good! Really nice job on rolling the steel to fit the pins. How long did it take to make those?

Those shears/snips sure are cool! The brass handled ones look old, check out the gas welds on the hood ! Interesting.

The hinges that yousee took a day to make. The rolling was done not on a press but using a hammer and custom made dies.. I will try and find pics of that too.

Hmmm.. I was planning a live workshop on the net for ppl.. This is a good idea too.. I can send a demo VDO to anyone interested. My wife will be visiting the states soon. She can bring the DVD with her..
