You guys are all killing me with these hoods. I have been looking for one for my 70' Challenger. I don't care if it's original, repro or fiberglass. I may have to do some hacking on it so I am not looking for a perfect one. But can't fathom paying how much everyone wants for one. Goodmark & AMD have been on nat'l back order.

HEY Glenn, Scott on those hoods the ring nuts/studs shouldn't be painted like the reference one that was shown correct? Ron

The nuts were supposed to be painted but were not always covered evenly. Paint flaked off some over the years. The original nuts for my blue hood are not on in those pictures, but I do have them. Hard to see, but on this original paint hood some paint can be seen on the nuts
Agreed, here's an example of an original paint Cuda hood with better coverage. On this example the nuts were painted, but some had bare areas on the opposite direction of the paint spray.
