What year hood?

Just wondering what year hood this is and what problems I will run into using it on my 71.

looks like a full length hood, you might have to gut all of your wiper door mechanism, and bypass relays etc to keep your wipers working...

Are you trying to eliminate your wiper door assembly?

Don't do it. It will look terrible.

Even if you do, the edges at the fenders won't line up correctly.

I totally agree. Just trying to figure out what I had so I can figure out what to do with it. It is the hood that came with the car (off of course). I imagine I will look to trade it or sell it to get the correct 71 sb hood. Not a priority for me right now, as I have bigger fish to fry. Thanks
