69/70 Hood

1 Attachment(s)

Hi all, I recently purchased a 70 hood for my build and noticed these small holes along the the inside lip. Anyone of you know what they would be for?

Thanks

From where the holes are located and the spacing I would guess they were for sheet metal screws to attach a "bug deflector" very common on trucks years back. Usually would be clear, smoke colored or other colors were also available.

As stated above, definitely a bug deflector. Seen several hoods with similar holes.
