Fast forward 4+ years...the car has finally been restored.  The owners have been gracious enough to keep me in the loop and send me some more pics

Also attached is an under hood pic of the 1" hole required for the pins....

We're installing these on mine right now. I originally thought the body guy drilled the holes for the retainers in the hood too far back, but that's where the core support is for the pins, and this is just making me feel great about it!  :2thumbs:

Looks amazing.  :cheers:

The pins with the hood paint and overall color really work well together.  Gives the car a very aggressive look.

Understand completely, it isn't as if you can put the drill in reverse and unhole it afterwards.  ;)

I honestly... can't even remember. I think I bought them like 5 or 6 months back and it's just getting to the point where they're getting installed now. What are the two typical lengths? 23" & 25"?

Chris I looked at all the pictures from that R6 Charger and see something odd.  Factory hood pins always had a flat round washer under them not the serrated washer that the repro. kits provide.  Now we all know that I don't know a Charger from a Neon but what's everyone's thoughts?????

Ron :shruggy:

While I agree that later years did use a flat washer, '69 was a different animal.

The bottom pic below is from an untouched, 11,000 mile '69 Daytona, just as a "for instance".  Even though the Daytona's hood pins would have been installed by Creative Industries I would have suspected that any assembly-plant installed hood pins from a '69 model would also have the same washer. **



** The REALLY insane crowd -- and yours truly is guilty as charged -- will also compare the width of the "star" locking flange on the washers... we've observed both wide (as on the R6 Charger) and skinny (as on the F5 Daytona) used in '69.  Yes, I already know I'm nuts...
