Default Best aftermarket hood

Mine original hood is not in the best shape, anyone use the dynacorn or other brand aftermarket hood? Looking to see how they fit.

I have no experience with those hoods but seem to recall people saying that they had a 'dip' near the nose of the bumper that needed to be filled and also that the scoop inserts did not fit perfectly. Maybe they've improved since?
Personally, I'd hunt for an original. They made many, many, many of them and they aren't exactly rare.

I think you are referring to the 65-7 repop hoods, not the 68-70, unless they had a similar problem.

I'm not sure if there is but one hood for the 68-70 (as with the 65-67), All the companies are sourcing their hood from the same Chinese manufacturer.

unless they have changed them, the aftermarket hood has 68 inner structure and the 69-70 originally is different. Need clearance for the Fan shroud on 69-70.

I think they did have a similar problem but again, it's a vague recollection.

Unless something changed in the past 10 years there was only one manufacturer that was making the 68-70 repop hood.

I used to sell them through the Parts Place and the feed back was very good.
There is a faint line in the center that needs to be worked on.. increased.

Overall fit was very good.

I would find the closest suppler to your house and go pick it up. Shipping is very expensive and if it gets damaged it can be a pain to have to ship it back...
Open the box at the store before you leave.. expect some minor dings and scratches.
