AMD...........pricey but the fit is worth every dime. I just put one on my 69. Good luck.

I'm embarrassed to tell you I experienced a "fly up hood" event. I had the grille off the car restoring it and we took it out for a short drive to get some fuel. Hood was held down with a cinch strap that didn't cinch that day. My wife guided us off the road with no further OMG moments. Un-freaking-believable! We bought a stock hood from AMD and are very pleased with it. The car is being painted right now and I really need to post up all the resto pics so far. I'm not a fan of fiber glass hoods, fenders etc unless its a weight consideration like on a gasser etc. I don't know if AMD offers fiber glass panels but their sheet metal is tits!
I am giving serious thought to hood pins.......that was one scary drive. Hood latch and hinges are in great shape.
