There will b 3 circles about 3/4 in diameter in the under bracing. the emblem gets placed thru the hood. A sheet metal nut would be up against the hood skin in that area ,not thru both layers. if your hood was not drilled & you have the reliefs in the underbracing , then you had no emblem.( wich is very odd & rare) 71 emblems have pins that go thru the hood. As a side note ,AMD forgot to put those relief holes in the under brace on their Cuda shaker hoods. Another problem with repro stuff-its never exact!

Early '71 hoods did NOT have the reliefs in the understructure of the hood as they were leftover '70 hoods that had no need for them. Most '71 SHAKER hood 'Cudas also do NOT have the reliefs as they also are non-crush zone left over '70 style hoods.

Not sure there, and although I have not seen them all, 75% of the real 71 Cuda shaker hoods I have ever seen all have the reliefs. The hinges also tell the tale with the different size mounting bolts, and I have seen more 71 hood hinges with 71 Cuda shaker hoods than 70 hinges.

This car has been repainted and when I get to see it in person I will see if there are holes in the hood for the Plymouth. I guess I will did out my Nov 5th built Cuda with the shaker hood and see if the hood has the holes or not for the plymouth. It is a crush zone hood. 1971 HEMI E BODY REGISTRY

It has no crumples on the underside and does have the three holes for the Plymouth emblem. The story that I got when I purchased the hood was that it was off a '71 hemicuda automatic car that was wrecked and parted out in the Bay Area in the early seventies.
