His hood pins are bolted to a mounting plate in the corner or the radiator core support and inner fender well. I have looked at a few kits and haven't seen any mounting plates like that for my A-body. Where do the hood pin studs mount in a '73-'74 Duster? This is one of the "kits" that I was looking at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT "No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness." - Aristotle
