Default 1968 Front End

I am restoring my 68. If you have owned one you are aware that there is a stress problem at the bottom of the hood on both sides just above the head lights. It has caused paint cracking and some glass damage. They reinforced the area in 69. Does anyone know of a kit or procedure to reinforce my 68. I would like to address this before I get the car painted.

Thanks,

Found these at Eklers. My bodyshop added these to my 68.

In case these links don't work look for part#'s 44697 and 44698.

Hey Tim,
Haven't seen you around for awhile. I figured you were sitting on a beach somewhere.
