Dzus fasteners like race cars use. You'll need about 5 up each side and a couple across the back and a couple more on the front. You'll need some fabrication skills to make the front a rear mounts, if the car needs paint, I'd weld the side mounts to the fenders instead of screwing or riveting them on. Bolts with locking nuts might work, but look tacky, screws work loose and even rivets break and fall out. You can get kits from Jeg's or Summit, but I think you can even buy them off Ebay.
Springs
I found that using ANY springs on the glass hood on the '65 caused the hood to warp over time.
I removed the springs, used the stock hinges, fabbed a couple of brackets, and installed air springs.
When the hood is down all the force is forward instead of up and caused no problems.
Believe it or not, you can find a wide selection of air springs at Kragen auto. You don't need one thats too strong, but it has to be long enough.
Yeah hood pins are definitely required.
