37 hood hinge damage

[37 lasalle]

     Need help with hood that was over opened. What parts are needed to repair the front and rear pins just under the ends of the hood?

[Steve Passmore]

There are no parts available that I know of, you just have to dismantle and repair what you have.

I would try PB Blaster or some other good penetrating oil to start out with and if it is still stuck I would put upwards pressure on it and tap the joints with a rubber mallet

Thankyou for your help.I got some help removing the hood and I now can see the the damage is on the center strip. It looks like the cracked ends can be welded after sliding the sections apart.  M Robinson

The two halves came apart with WD40 . I think I can cut the hinge strip in half and use the two fresh cut ends on the out side edges,moving the bad ends to the center. the hood and stops will hold everything together.
