I was finally able to get some pics of the plates and screws from my car

What does the hole in the hood look like fron the bottom?

Wow those are different than mine..and they look just like MOPAR scuff plates...

ive seen those screws/bolts for the lanyards before...i have some they are on AMCs..i have 2 5 gallon buckets with nothing but AMC bolts...that screw holds a grill or grill bracket in and has the same marks..when i can, i will find ya one...or a couple dozen..lol(yes i hoard bolts...i have 2 dozen buckets with nothing but bolts..organized to make and model just not sorted)

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.

I replaced the hood. There was a GTO hood on the car when I bought it. I replaced it with a correct flat hood shortly after buying it and just made the holes so I have no clue what they are supposed to look like from the factory
