OK, so the Michigan Vintage VW Club is having their annual event in Ypsilanti on the 23rd and I plan on going. One of the things I may be looking for in the swap meet area is a 67 hood. How can I tell a 67 hood from earlier hoods?
Thanks,
Jay

...smaller moulding holes

That's it? So it is an older style "long" hood with holes the correct size for the later molding clips?
Cool. Should be easy enough. Thanks,
Jay
...thats it. =-) in a pinch you can use an earlier hood..just weld up the holes and re-drill for the smaller clips. Done right it should be un-noticable from either side, and the other year hoods are often easier to find in excellent shape.
...good luck,
Gareth
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Certainly gives me an option. One thing that I noticed about my old hood (besides rust and bullet holes) was that the edges near the windshield bowed away from the body on the sides. I think it might be because the apron was bent but I'm not sure. That was another reason I was just going to replace it...All I need is a hood and 4 fenders and Ican start fitting my fron and rear clips! Woohoo!
