Thats a real nice Formal roof Torino....i wonder is the shaker original to that car, or was it added?  I will have the hood blackout as well, and hood locks and hood tach as well as shaker. Its going to look badass.....

Looks like it's coming along nicely.

I’ve always wondered if there are any modifications that need to be done to the ventilation system in order to put a '71 hood on a ’70 car or vise versa. Did Ford change anything underneath in the cowl area when they omitted the slots in the hoods for 1971?

Nope, they're the same...just no vents...

the vents were on 70 cars about halfway through production and was changed mid year to no vent.  I do like the ventless hood better with my blackout hood to be honest.....

If they made it a mid-year changover, this would make sense as I've seen more than a few '70 cars with what I assumed were '71 hoods installed.
Thanks for the info.
