I need to replace my bent worn hood hinges on my 69 roadrunner. the car is not a numbers matching car so I'm not looking for originality. just something that works good. what would you guys recommend repo steel classic hinges or billet aluminum hinges?

Beautiful car. I'd go with steel hinges all day long on a steel hood....no experience with the aluminum hinges, but those make more sense to me with a fiberglass hood and/or race-weight car.

Get some factory hinges. Blast them and paint to match. Lots of them out there.
