I'm looking at some shaker stuff this weekend and I need a refresher on identifying an original hood from a conversion/repro. I've seen some good posts with photos over the years but I can't seem to find one right now.

Cuda Cody

Best to post some photos and let @ScottSmith_Harms  take a look.  He's a shaker guru.

Spot welds on the very edges of hood and the cups are more defined is what I recall learning before.
Body glue between frame and hood pushing out in areas.

Look at the attachments in this and zoom in.

Cuda or Challenger? 70 or 71? Can you post pictures of the hood in question?

71 Cuda. I haven't been able to get any pictures of the underside of the hood. I'll hopefully be seeing it in person this weekend.
