Was taking the hood hinges off of my Eliminator project and seen that they had yellow ink stamping on the side. "INSP MAR 7 XXXX". The Xs appear to be the year but are hard to make out. There are more numbers similar to a Ford part # but don't make any sense like a Ford number. The hinges are painted black, which appears to be original. ( I thought hinges were NOT painted). So is this an aftermarket set of hinges? The car was hit in the front at some time, as you can see repairs in the grille area and some putty in one fender. I might be able to answer my own question if I could make out the year. But it is over stamped with the other numbers going the other direction. This on a 1970.
Thanks for any help. Steve
