Oh no! This is terrible news. Neil was a huge part of this community and will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family. As my son and I have been plodding along on fixing up our '68 HCS we always felt like he was lapping us. He just kept cranking out the restorations! RIP friend.

Excellent! Thanks for following up with the solution to help the next person.

Here are a few of the driver's side:

That is just a blind hole on my 289 C code block. No bolt or plug.

Not sure yet. I got the hood and repop driver's fender to the body shop last Fri. It will probably be a week before they can give me feedback.

Adding a PDF with some dimensions and photos of the hood lock holes.

I'm resurrecting this 9 yr old thread because I cut hood lock holes into my reproduction hood today. Whewwww... that was nerve-racking! As others mentioned in this thread, even though the 2011 Recognition Guide (page 104) talks about the large holes on the underside of the hood being cut with a...

I emailed Graphic Express and got a very quick reply that they sell a separate stripe kit specifically for the '68 HCS, so that solves my problem of trying to get extra stripe material for the scoops...

I just realized that none of these kits will have the correct side scoop stripe for me since I have an HCS, not a GT/CS. I wonder if I can just buy a few extra feet of the stripe material. (I already have the HCS decals from the Teets family)

I just watched a Youtube video of someone installing 'C' stripe decals on a '68, so I understand a bit better now. They used the soapy water method, but then used a heat gun to dry it out. On brand new paint?!? :eek: I think I'll stick with your dry method Arlie. :)

Thanks. I'll go direct to Graphic Express then. Did you all install the decals yourself or have your paint shop do it? Are the decals sticky-backed like stickers? Or like scale model kits where you soak in water and they transfer off the paper backing?

I'm looking at stripe kits and there are a few different suppliers that the major Mustang shops carry, and pricing is all over the place, so hard to judge quality. Anyone have experience with any of them? NPD sells kits by "Decal Magic" for $128 -...

I joined the FB group and saw the hoods for sale, but they're in ID. Seller won't ship, which is understandable since shipping would be a huge hassle and expensive. But I appreciate the suggestion. I wasn't aware the FB group existed. Thanks Marty. I found a local Dynacorn for a reasonable...

Thanks the the FB marketplace group. I just put in my join request

Thanks for the offer Marty. Yeah, I think shipping costs would be prohibitive. I checked a few of the mail order Mustang shops and shipping alone is $300-400.
