It sounds like it will be easier to just buy 69
hinges. Thanks to all who answered.

Sorry, no use a 69 hood on 68 car. Use 69
hinge. If use 68 hood on 69 then use 68 hinges. John

This sounds like using a 68 hood on a set of 69
hinges.... but I'm not sure also. Thanks for the input. Any
other experiences?

I have drilled on set of hinges and honed
the hole a bit to work. I don't know if I did 69 hinge to fit 68 or 68
hinge to fit 69. I did use the back hole but the front hole was different
location.
Not much help but my
experience

Has anyone had any luck modifying the hood
hinges from a 68 in order to put a 69 hood on a 68 with the 68
hinges? It appears that the rear mounting point is farther back on
a 69 hood, but can you just extend the hood mounting point on the 68
hinges rearward to make it work? I know you can buy repo 69 hinges
to solve this problem, but I have pretty good metal working skills, and
wondered if I could save a few frogskins......
Thanks.
