Unbolt the hood from the hinges to remove the hood, remove the front fenders to remove the stock hood hinges from the body I removed the stock hood springs from my Duster(I left the hinges on the car ) and had some aluminmum T stock bonded onto the hood underside so I could still use the stock hood hinges with no springs so I didn't have to remove the hood every time I wanted to look or work on the engine I did use 8 Dzuz fasteners also to hold the hood on Four on the front, one on each side in the middle and two between the stock hinges in the rear and in the middle of the hood, it was a fibreglas race hood with a SS 1968 hemi race scoop molded onto it during the making of it I used to race in SO CA at LACR, the wind was always blowing there and I saw more than one lift off hood get blown across the pits by a new racer coming there I have also lost a race hood when I forgot to put all the hood pins back on when I was in a rush IHTHs
