73 Duster build named Fred

Not that you asked, but before you end up needing to change your undies like me-I ended up needing to hold the middle of my race weight hood down because it would bulge up around 1000’. I put strips of 1/4” aluminum to extend the hold downs out closer to the front. I’ve seen some folks go right off the core support, but I think it looks better out front. Here’s a couple pics, hood off and hood on:

Love your car!

This hood has minimal bracing and I plan on adding a couple of pins after I get the scoop grafted on. Thought about running zeus fasteners for a cleaner look but my car is so ratty as it is, it probably wouldn't look right. lol
