Shelby GT350 hood hinges
« on: August 22, 2020, 02:51:20 PM »
Gents,
When SA received their kars from Ford, did they replace the hood hinges to account for a lighter weight fiberglass hood?  If so, how do you identify these specific hood hinges that Shelby put on?

The 65/66 GT350's used the same hinges as regular production 65/66 Mustang. The springs were what SA changed. Best to start a new  thread with a spring question to make easy searching for others in the future
