Default Getting a Monza hood back on

So with the '68 I'm working on, it has a Monza hood. Tilts forward, gives me tons of access to the engine bay.

How do I put it back together? I don't have any existing paperwork or instructions, nor can I find any on the web. I'm assuming it is just 2 nuts & bolts on the prop parts & on the hood, but is there there more to it?

I did not. The hood was dismantled(and loosely placed back on the car) when I got ahold of it. I inherited it in a slightly dismantled state.

it has pivots on the car and the nose. look at the pivot points on the nose then place the nose on the car and see if there is anything where those honge points end up. it is possible he picked up the nose and never actually installed it. this guy did his own. post 22 he describes where the pivot point is. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...me-made-2.html
