Is there some sort of insert or reinforcement you put in the hood for the mounting points?

This thread is awesome! Wish I had your fiberglass skills as you make all this look way too easy. Your years of hard earned experience certainly show in all the photos that you have shared with us over the years. You are a true craftsman of the reproduction trade.

The under brace is trimmed . Holes drilled and taped ,latch brace in place ,all that is left is to bond the two parts together . I test fit the ram air chamber to see if it would go over the scoops and it does ,now i have to modify the plate to fit the hood underbrace

Its out ! I made a tool to pull the hood from the mold ,it worked perfect . The only thing i see wrong with the hood is i was a bit light on one of the scoops after i trimmed it out i sat it on my old junker 70 coupe ,nothing bolted down and it fits great ,i held the headlight buckets in place . I will have to get out one of my 69s and bolt it all together for some good pics
