I have 2 1970 flat e body hoods. They are both in really good shape. Niether have hood pin holes. I want to add the hood pin holes and turn them into shaker hoods. Is adding the hood pin holes as simple as I think it will be or is there anything I need to look out for? Where is the best place to get the shaker conversion kits?
Thanks for your advice.

......for what your going to spend on the conversion kits, your time to install them, cleaning up any rust issuses, stipping paint, fixing dents, etc.....IMHO your better off calling AMD for a shaker hood,....flat hoods are at a premium now, because they were cobbled up for shaker conversions the last few years,.....buy direct from AMD,....$950 a hood, and you can order it with or without pin holes,....Cuda or Challenger, and just because it's repro dosen't mean it's always gonna be around......so don't hesitate.....They are nice, and fit perfectly I've purchased 2 Cuda, and 1 Challenger hood so far



The conversion kit will cost $500 + additional materials, not to mention your time,
