68/69 6 Pack Hoods

Thanks for the great pics A12!  I don't have the plates toward the firewall so I won't be doing a lift off.  The front pin locations are definitely helpful.

Would still love to see some 68 pics too, although I can visualize how timmycharger did it well enough, going through the bumpstop hole, would just like to avoid drilling that out. Maybe I just can'y have my cake and eat it too in this situation, i.e. I'll either have to drill some holes I don't like or do without the hood.  We'll see.

You could possibly take an old bump stop, remove the rubbers and weld a nut on top of it that will accept the hood pin

I thought of something like that too.  If it did not go all the way through the bumpstop mount plate though the pin would sit up very high.  I suppose I could cut the pin and just use a die to thread it up higher, if I'm catching what you're saying.

I thinkmaybe drilling out the bumstop screwhall to a wide enough diameter for the pin may be the answer.  And when I want to switch to my stock hood I could find a bolt that would fit inside the rubber and be large enough to retain it in the plate.  Voila, you'd never see that the screwhole in the plate is a bit (albeit quite a bit) larger.  That might work for me.
