I did some research,(my buddy owns a resto parts store) and mopar lanyards intended for an A BODY..like a dart or duster are identicle to mine and are the same length..17 inches...and the layard ends are a perfect match...it would make sense to use parts already available...
thanks mark!!!! I have a bunch of buckets and cans of bolts too, but I'm say 20% organized. or at least how I'd like it to be organized. most of my stuff is Olds though since I have a few of those.

funny thing, earlier today I was searching some mopar restoration places online for hood pins kits. yep, the plates and screws are identical to mopar stuff. I saw they offered 3 lengths of lanyards, 18", 23" and a longer that I can't recall right now. One place sells the pieces seperate. I'd need to look again to find that place. I know next to nothing about mopars. they have some neat cars and some that well "only a mother could love", but I've concentrated on Olds and Pontiac.
