I would have sworn that that 64 aluminum hemi cars came from the factory with hood hinges. I just dug out a book I knew I had that shows a 64 Dodge aluminum hemi car which looks to be at the end of the assembly line getting the once over inspection. It has the magnesium front wheels and what appears to be four rather large wing nuts. Sorry I can't post pic's to back this up, but the book is MOPAR ..THE PERFORMANCE YEARS by Martyn L Schorr ..copyrighted 1982...picture is on page 12. The picture is of a NON altered wheelbase car. Hope this helps. I think what created the problem on whether they had hinges or not is the fact a lot of 64 max wedge cars were converted to hemi status...my 2 cents.
