Unforunatly i dont. A good thing with not having the front wheel wells is you can mount the hinge to the core support close the hood and mark your holes through the wheel well. Make sure you unbolt the hood from the factory hinge before you mount the new hinge (dont ask how i know) 😆 How are you locking the trunk down so it cant be pulled up from the back (near the rear window)? Cause on mine with it closed you could still pull up on the hood (near the winshield).

well its pouring here to so i didnt feel like going out to take a picture of them, so i drew this on paint to show you. I will do something similar up front for the hood, but will either notch where they will hit or weld something in for them to "hook" into. I left the factory trunk mounts in the back about 2" so these arms will go in between the metal like it's a slot.

Ah i see, and yes your welds are looking better. Keep up the good work.

OK this will be the last update until probably monday night, I have my son until then. I got the lid on and got the front "hooks" on, had made them bigger to use the factory trunk hinge rubber stops but they were longs as hell and looked like sh*t, looked good on paper but not in real life. so i shortened them and took the 1/4" plate i was using to space them up of and they work great, I just want to get a piece of har rubber to line the metal with where they rest. They are tacked for now, but will finish them as the body gets done. I also was able to get the rear side panels and back seat back in now. I had to trim the panels to clear the tubs. I also had to cut out the sides of the back seat to clear the tubs as well, but they worked out great.
