Titanium hinges....BAD NEWS
As some of you know I had a deal in the works to have a quantity made up. Well, yesterday it fell thru. It was taking FOREVER. I had sent a sum of money to get the ball rolling. The guy I was working with was having issues with his supplier and they had a falling out. So he is sending my check back and the deal is off. He is a good guy just having probs with his supplier. So no more Ti hinges. I dont have time to make them in my garage anymore. Sorry to the guys waiting for them to hit the market. I am bummed.
 Hey E for effort.....right?

Shawn, it is probably for the best as I have heard of people DYING from using those hinges!

Look on the bright side. The few sets that have been sold will now be very desirable collectors items.
I hope you signed them in some way.

I never saw what the big deal was. Is there a historic reference or something which they were based on?
Exposed hinges remind me of Jeeps. Sorry if I offend your sences, I am just trying to understand the attraction, that's all.

Kach, that site is incredible! I love the hood extension to make the '74-89 into a 'long hood'!
