My hood only has access for the fwd pin. Dennis 1966 Charger 383 4 speed (Black with Red interior) 1973 Cuda 340 4 speed (Lemontwist) 1972 Corvette

UCUDANT OP Troll Hunter Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 8,130 New Mexico	Thanks guys, Dennis there's no easy access but I'll figure out how they did it. Maybe a plastic insert? I wondered why my car had a (broken) strange type rivet at the drivers side quarter panel for the vinyl top trim retention instead of the stud type clip. I later saw they miss-aligned it and the holes did not match. I simply opened the inner hole and used the clip, guess the factory had no time for that.

Paint and hood was gone off the car when I bought it in 81 but tracked down the original owner, he still had the hood in the rafters of the garage. I bought it and still has nice original paint on it. My car has shaker now. Coming up in Mopar Muscle soon. Cool thread!

I think the 2 pre-drilled holes were off slightly compared to the bends one is high and the other is low, essentially it needs to rotate clockwise some 6853568-DSCF0663.JPG (206 downloads)

It took some time but I was able to get them to contour in a little better. I didn't use the old holes. Just clamped in place and drilled new holes. Next car I do I will weld up the holes prior to paint. Your doing good keep us posted with pictures.

Details are here: the antenna thread This is the bezel that caused the issue, I believe it is an AAR bezel 6858310-54.JPG (181 downloads)
