Decided on my hood! Cervini cowl with hood lock pins?anyone have pics?
After numerous searches and pictures,I decided to go with the cervini cowl.....I am looking at the price difference between the hood pin and the latch type of hood....Im leaning for the hood pin because of the price difference..
My question is,does it mount to the existing rear most mounting and use 2 front hood pins or does it use 4 hood pins at all 4 corners???Any have pictures of a cervini bolt on hood?

It all depends on how many hood pins you want. Most people choose to mount the hood in the stock locations on the back, and use two pins up front. I know of many guys who have it done like that here, including a few strip only race cars.

If you want to remove the back brackets and replace them with pins you can as well. Your hood would them have to be lifted off you car, likemy buddies in the background of this pic..

I am assuming, of course, that you are looking to buy a hood with no holes pre-drilled for hood pins. Because if that is the case you just drill some holes and mount as many pins as you like. If you are looking at a hood with holes pre drilled up front, then it would mount to your rear brackets and be pinned up front.

Do you have any pics of the hood from inside the cab and of under the hood?
Thanks for the opinion
I decided not to go with the hood pins because im shaving the handles and antenna and I dont think it would flow well if I had hood pins....Order it tonight so hopefully it comes in within a week and a half
