I just ordered the hood pins for the replacement CF core support they used in my repair... It's the same as the 19 and 20 and shared with the GT500, 400ea.

I considered buying the GT500 hood and putting it on my 350 to avoid putting holes in my hood and getting the additional air through the extractor in the hood, but I was priced out. The hood, extractor, pins, and all HW was 4700, with my buddies 30% discount and not painted or installed... just too much for my budget.

So I hope the hood pins can use ordinary quick latch components and my machinist friend will fabricate the plates to provide a good flat surface inside the 350 hood. Maybe no more hood flapping on track :)

If it works and there is interest I'll make a kit that will work on 19s, 20s, and any one that replaces the core support.

The GT500 hoodpins fit the QL assembly, but I'm missing something in the core support to screw the pin assembly into... Will call my parts guy tomorrow to try and figure that out. The height looks good and I'm going to the bodyshop to pic up my old hood to drill it before cutting the new one.

Optimistic still
