how different are the javelin hinges from a rebel? did amc use the same hinge on everything to save a few bucks?

Javelin hood hinges are completely different from Rebel hood hinges.

Actually not a bad price $495.00. The 1967-69 Camaro hinges start at $580. Do the billet hinges make aligning the hood easier or harder? What is the lifespan of the nitogen gas struts and replacement cost?

Those look good and at a reasonable price all things considered.

Maybe nice touch for an all out custom or show car?  I had mine silver chrome powder coated including the springs. Look good and waaaaaaay cheaper
