You did a lot of impressive work on that Tuske427.

John, here is my interior hood release option. If I recall these were dealer installed from 69 to 72 on the A bodies. I'm sure you will know more than me about the years it was offered.

I found this NOS example over 20 years ago. Its a nice option and while not a lock, its just like a modern car, pull to release on the interior and then pull the usual under the bumper for the secondary release.

I found most people have never seen one and it does get some notice from the more sharp eyed show goers. Though it does require a note if the car is getting worked on as to inform its there and how to use it.
