Where are you guys mounting your front/center hood pins for Challengers with a lift off hood? Mine bows bad at speed so I need to put a pin or 2 in the front and near the center. Radiator support? Hood latch support?

'70 Chally. Unknown make but it's lightweight. It appears to have a lateral support (i assume wood) molded in just above the front holes of the hood latch bracket. Above the rad support is just thin glass.
