I have a Harwood lift-off hood on my '82 GT and it was a pain to install and this was at an auto body shop!! There are 8 L-brackets that attach to the fender lips,cowl area and 2 in the front and there are zeus buttons that go through them and latch the hood.
I never got the front two brackets on because it would require custom welding to mount the L brackets. It was HELL!!
I wish I had a bolt-on hood instead. The instructions never did show us how they expected us to mount the front brackets.
The hood is on without the front ones and it holds at highway speeds. I am going to have the brackets welded in place because they on with pop rivits that came with the hood, which worries me.
Go with the bolt on and spend the extra money . You will be glad you did!!
