if anyone has a july 1997 copy of mopar collectors guide page 40 -it has an article by a guy who worked at creative and i think his memory is not that accurate-saying that they removed the steel hoods from a12 bees and runners to fit the glass hoods-anyone who has looked closely at an a12 car will easily see the hood hinges for a steel hood were never ever bolted to the car along with the hood catch mechanism-it just wasn`t done-everything was done at lynch road as the factory procedure for assembly line workers shows. the same article says they also did the hemi wheel arches-again i disagree because why would the factory send cars to have wheel arches modded or even fenders modded when they could be done in house. i actually don`t think any of the above was done at creative.
i`m with alaskan t/a on this - prove it. (and not with a bad memory)
on a side note i think the hoods were made at plaza manufacturing company in canada for the a12 cars and possibly even the t/a and aar`s.
all the best
frank.
