I finally got around to pulling the interior out of the 69 judge. The trunk key won't open the trunk lid, so I decided to pull the interior and get at the lock latch from the inside. I was quite pleased to find the original ram air hood scoops in the console, yes. I also had to scoop and vacuum the rat poo and nests out from under the back seat. Finally got the rear seats all out and found the upper ram air pan in the trunk, yes. Found what looked like a pile of junk in front of the hood latch area, but it wasn't trash. It's a Pontiac block! That may be good, we'll see, but I can't get to the latch bolts. Any ideas on getting the lock out without ruining the trunk lid?
