I have a 71 and I replaced the Hood spear with a OEM that looks almost new I bought on E Bay. Also put 15x8 Rallies on the rear I had gotten off E bay I will do the front this week. They are OEM also. Just did an engine upgrade 2 weeks ago. Aluminum intake ,mild cam , lifters,pushrods, and rocker arms, 600 Holley, MSD HEI distributor, and of course a plug and plug wire upgrade.
Was glad I did it I found one pushrod starting to flake off at the top where it was against the rocker arm. Had a tick in the engine a few times when I bought her but it had went away.
