Hood prop question
Hi All, I have installed a one piece front end from CC, and have a stock big block hood. I have bolted the hood on and have the prop assembly but have no idea where or how it mounts on the fender / inner fender. The hood part is obvious but I think I might be missing some other part. Anyone have a picture of a 69 hood support mounted to the car that will help me figure out this little puzzle?
Thanks,
Here is the latest progress pic.

Re: Hood prop question (427basketcase)
Sorry, I couldn't get my support rod images to stick, but the links work. You should notice in the second picture a bolt in the hood channel. The support rod bolts to the support brace on the wheel side of the splash apron and the hood. The hood should be predrilled with two threaded receivers for the rod bolts. If you look at the support in the fender well and at your hood rod, it should make sense. If you are using the original splash aprons, they should already be drilled for the necessary holes. The clickable links below should help.
