Well, that would be hell-arious if it weren't so far off, cudamark, but thx for your time... I've had this '64 cuda for 55 years & had it all apart, inside & out, in '76 when I had the body restored then. That was too long ago to remember things, but you'd think that I'd remember more when I stripped it inside & out 18 months ago to give it to the body man I used this time! Ha, dimentia must have set in! I took that trunk latch cover off, but for some reason, I can't remember how to get it back on. That tab in the picture is interfering. Syleng's cuda is not a '64 like mine or the latch would likely be the same as mine in the pix. Mine is original, & it is a trunk latch, not a hood latch. I guess if I cross my eyes, maybe it'd look like a hood latch, not sure. It is the original cover. I'll figure it out sooner or later. The only way the trunk latch could be the wrong one is if my body man took it off, which he didn't, & then put the wrong trunk latch on. There are no other old cudas in a pile around his shop where he may have gotten a junk trunk latch, & it'd be pretty hard for him to find one this day & age. Anywaze, what a joke. Nope, all the parts in my pix are 59 years old & they came with the car when my dad bought it way back in '64. Have a good one... or two! ;o] bye4now, pete
