Back from the body shop! Reply #31 – January 10, 2010, 04:46:35 PM Be sure to grab the hinges too, just in case. It bolted right up to my 85, but when I had it on both of my 83s, the hinges didn't mate up to the holes in the hood (I had to use the TC hinges in that case). Plus the TC hinges are spring loaded so you won't need a prop rod.Yes, this hood has been on 3 of my cougars now, heh. It will stay on this one for good though. Quote Selected

Then the covers have plastic connectors (like velcro, but stronger) that hold them to the brackets. It feels sturdy, but I get nervous that they'll fly off on the highway (even though it's never happened). Quote Selected

They just look so bad right now, chrome is shot, rubber is all weather beaten, etc. I really have to spend some time restoring them... But I will :)I need to get my mudflaps on too, I might do that today. Quote Selected
