    I put them on my 75.
    I regret doing it.
    Wouldn't do it again.
    Wouldn't have done it then if I was smart.

    The new Shelby type is the ones I went with. Look much nicer than the little chrome plates but they are fairly expensive.

    I once had a hood I done alot of work on. I had an L88 scoop on it and it was nice. I didn't have hinges on it cause I was always taking it off to tinker. Well, I for got to pin it one day.
    I now have two hoods. First is the factory GT with latch, second is another L88 no latch and lightened.
    I'll be adding them to my second hood. I just hope I remember they are there when I swap back with my first hood.

    I have the pins - wasn't hard because there was already a rusty one on just one side when I got it (?). My Fiscal Manager told me that I had to get locking ones because of my underhood expenditures.

    The hood on my Maverick already had them but knowing the value of Grabber hoods I wouldn't have installed them myself.
