I don't have a pic right now on the computer so here is a link. http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehicles/ccrp_0904_1969_dodge_dart_408_powered_engine/photo_04.html At speed the back of the hood flexs up some. Was going to build a underhood brace to stiffen the hood but never got to it, now building a new car. "Just a Bracket car dressed up like a streetcar"
