Are the new hinges any good or is it better to have mine rebuilt? One is pretty rough with a broken star. Any recommendations on where to buy or restore?

Buy a kit from just about any parts store and rebuild them yourself. Not that hard and it will save you lots of $.

I did not have time to rebuild mine so I sent them to RestoRick (along with my hood hinges) and they came back looking/functioning like new.

They are easy to re-build. I used a kit from Y1 with new pins and bushings. The broken star is a problem though - you might need a used or donor hinge to take care of that.
