Hoodpins for Shelby GT500?
I cant find ANY hoodpins that say they will fit a GT500.
Anyone know of some that will?
Better yet.. any one know of some screw in lock ones?
Even the Shelby hood pins don't say they will fit a GT500 hood.
Please only post the pins you KNOW will fit.
Links appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't have a shelby but I got the hood pins, I don't see how they wouldn't work? I'm still hesitant to use them being that I would have to drill holes in my hood. This car has always been kept in a garage but I would still think that rust on the hood after the holes would be an issue

These are the ones I had.. Now they are not twist locks but I have not seen twist locks that fit our hoods or non recessed like my ones are now

The only twist ons that I can think would work, are the 1970 style since they don't need to be recessed like the 68 style that the KR uses.

Of course, you'll need to find a shop that can do a little custom work.
