I never doubted you. There's just been some different things that I've seen first-hand that contradict certain things you said. Not that I thought that you were wrong, but I was trying to dig deeper to see what was going on. For instance, the 65 GT350 that I saw with hood pins, the guy said he sent to somewhere in Wisconsin to be fully restored, and the pins were in the little brackets that would normally hold rubber bumpers, but not the bracket you show there because that bracket accomodates the bumper and pin, whereas on this 65, the pin took the place of the bumper. This bracket was the same as a stock front rubber bumper bracket on my 67.
But anyway, I guess what this all boils down to, is, where should I drill the holes for the pins in my 67 Coupe?
Also, something that stumps me, is that bracket sticks out so far that it would almost put the holes for the pins damn near on the edge of the hood. But when you see a pic of the hood down and stuff, it looks perfectly normal. But I know if I bought those Shelby brackets and put them on my Coupe, those holes would DEFINITELY be real close to the front edge of the hood. Because as it stands now, the holes I've drilled in the core support already place it pretty close to the front of the hood as is, not to mention adding another 5 or 6 inches(however long that bracket is).
