In the David Wise book it indicates the hood safety latch is phosphate & the little catch bar & bolts on the bottom of the hood are body colour. I want to make sure this correct before I change things. For the record, it's a Nov 1969 cuda. Thank you, Joe

Can you provide a picture or two? 

It might take a day or so to get to them and take pictures and then posted.

Yep. I've done lots of hardware over the years for other cars. Thank you, Joe
