Default Will it fit?

I found a cool hood off of a 1975 Corvette

Hi 02,
I agree, yes…. but with a caveat… the ends on the fenders at the windshield on cars with wiper doors are shaped differently than those on 73+ cars.
Even when the 68-72 fender trim is removed the shape is different… in fact it becomes more of a mismatch.
Will that bother you?
Regards,
Alan

Why would you want to get rid of your cool wiper door? Lou.
