That's not in reference to replaceing a front clip with a round eye. That's kinda my point. But at least you were the only one brave enough, or was it stupid enough to take a guess? Jus Kiddin, I'm sure it was brave enough.

Did you know hoods have a design to them to keep you from being de capitated in a hard frontal collision??? It's true. Notice in frontal collisions the hood goes up into and upside down V or Taco shape? Side view would look like this ^. That does that by design and it's to save severe injury to the occupants of the vehicle. This design may not even be part of the hood. It could be on the cowl, and most have a small section on both the hood and the cowl, or the hood and the inner side of the fenders, and even sometimes the hood and the firewall. And sometimes the designed pieces are bolted on and many times, people not knowing their purpose will take them off the vehicle thinking they have no purpose or not needed that they may have been a part used to just make the assembly line work well since there does happen to be those type of parts too. Think about what can happen to a hood in hard frontal collision if the hinge bolts to the hood were sheared off. The hood could come right thru the windshield like a big blade and slice a person in pieces. So this design has hood catches built into it, to stop the hood at the cowl so it can't go thru the windshield. Therefore, the hood crumples in a ^ shape instead of staying flat and coming thru the windshield.

May as well esplain " 'druthers " too I guess.

Instead of building my 87 with the OEM Square eyes, " I would rather " or " I'd rather " or " 'druther " install a round eye front clip. Red Neck slang if you will !?!?!

I don't believe you had to actually explain that!

wrecked one, when I was 17. Got sideways on me, lost control, stuffed it into a concrete poll, and than the wall behind the poll. Dad was pissed to say the least.

My grandmother gave me a 1973 GTO she bought new. 400/4 speed car. Rusted all to hell though.

I've had 3 other 1973 LeMans as well. The 1973 Pontiacs were the best looking of the 1970s, the entire lineup was hot.

 

[Driver4r]

We have a 71 lemans.

Pretty much my favorite year range of cars is 68-72.

Wow, talk about detail! I was just going to mention the big bolt at each rear corner that the hood hooks into (round eye). And druther is up there with bofum.

Here's a pre-81' anti-decap device. These were also usually in the corners as well, I believe.

You must be registered for see images attach

I think that one was only used a couple years.

No pics of the rallies.

Yeah.. That's what I was thinking too. Hah. I suppose they reckon those are the original rallies because they came on the truck or something. Who knows?

Quite a bit of money, but the truck's nice to say the least.

My favorite.. Only if it was a K10, and I had magically had 12k to throw into a vehicle. Haha
