I am putting a bolt-on sixpack hood on and will use pins for the front (with the hood latch). Which hole is the stock location? The hole centered in the pic with no bolt in it? If I remember correctly my GTX used one of the fender support bolts.

The other day I was looking at the fenders and realized that the 68 had a dimple where that hole is drilled and the 67 doesn't even have that area (hard to explain, but the line is straight without the triangular area for the hood pin).

IIRC, 5/16". I think most hood pins are 1/2" dia. You may have not had the hole there (I didn't either on my Demon), but there should be a dimple there from the factory.

We chose to do it the same way at the front, we cut off the hood bumper star-nut and we're gonna use that hole. The plan for the rear is to weld on a bracket for the pins (lift off hood). Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
