I can't recall if it was dynacorn. but I was not impressed with mine. the scoops were stamped out to soft as far as the shape, and the strength was not good, if you shut the hood with your hands off the center "peak" like you can originals, you get 2 dent impressions.

now, I did have a goodmark repop hood for my 67 firebird and it was excellent. shockingly excellent. strong as original and nice crisp stamping. iv'e found goodmark to provide the best stuff. just my experience anyway.

I currently have a repop 70-73 Trans Am hood and am very pleased with it.

This is a Dynacorn hood, installed in around 2007. It fit fairly well and certainly was an improvement over the buckled original hood. Was good driver quality replacement IMO.
