bent hood hinges

[Dune Country]

took apart the hood on the '31ccpu and the center pin had been rusted and opened, bent the hinges. By looking at the pictures the center of the pin should be in line to the top of the hood, is this correct?

Yo, my friend,
Sold my '30, so I'll sorta guess at this. Seems that about 2/3 of the rod was above the flat surface of the hood.
Consider this: For years I've used hardwood dowels for hood pins. Blacken the ends, soak them in Linseed Oil, plenty strong, and NO rust or squeeks, ever. Bill W.

The center hinge was ON the center of each hood top so it appears slightly above center with the hood closed due to the angle.
