My other lightweight pin on is also very good fit. That is my experience. Let us know what you choose. 1.50 60Ft. , 10.75@ 127MPH Hauling 3900 LBS.

For the hood springs he picked up some from a some sort of mopar front driver from a salvage yard and they work great.

I'll let everyone know what I do (If I do) Thanks all, Wally.

I've asked about their stuff and received positive feedback on it. For me, they are close enough to drive out and pick it up-and return it if I'm not happy. Its possible that the quality got better. But the one I got some years ago for my 67 Coronet is terrible. The back edge looks to be cut out with a jig saw and the back edges folded up like butterfly wings. Not to mention wavey like the ocean........... 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......
