I have that pic along with the large advertising/dealer picture of the red post coupe GT-37. both have the lanyards between the header and hood. This has made me wonder how the lanyards are routed. So seeing the pic you posted of yours, now I'm wondering, what is the correct routing.

Also notice the hood pins insert from the side, perpendicular to the car. Mine are like this too, but I have no idea if the core support has ever been changed. I suspect the drivers fender isn't original to my car, but I haven't taken anything apart yet cuz I fear it might not go back together. not to mention I'm having to much fun driving it to local cruises and racing it at the Pure Stock Drags. Here's a pic of mine, hope you guys don't mind. It's from the Pure Stock Drags last year. She's about a 50 footer ... for now.



Lastly, I'll help out any way I can on getting the 70 GT-37 decals reproduced. Been meaning to touch base with you Bill, on seeing what can be done on that front anyway. Just keep getting busy with other car projects.
