Maybe 1 out of 4 will work with less than an hour of re-work. Probably never spent more than 3 hours getting one to work. Never had one bolt in and fit perfectly that I can remember. BUT I'VE NEVER HAD ONE THAT WOULDN'T WORK! I've used them on 68,69 and 70 models. Probably at least a half dozen of each. More 69's than any other. Are they perfect? No. But they are about the same quality of the repop hoods... and far better than the repop doors, fenders and quarters!

For those that may be a little queezy about bending the top shroud mounting lip, find an experienced body guy... it's a 5 minute fix...

If the angle at the fenders is off, we have bolted the top edge to the workbench and tweaked the intire support until the angle is closer. On one we busted a few spot welds to reposition the top. On a driver, you could simply shim one of the bolts to take up the uneven gap.

I do find it interesting that one of the issues we see on almost every support has not been addressed... The opening for the frame horn is not centered and they need clearanced to make sure they don't contact the frame.

As I stated earlier... metal bends...
