Well...they aren't exactly chrome, but polished aluminum. I vote for the '68 vintage locks, because it's part of the original CS package, in keeping with the original style, just as the click type are in keeping with the original Shelby (of 1966) for the Hertz Shelby. So, I doubt that "streamlining" would be of importance (but thanks anyway, Steve) by using the '71 type...(BTW--the '70 Shelby hood locks were also used on the '70 Hurst Olds)
The question is how and where does one put the retainers? I suppose someone could machine some "L" brackets out of some thicker steel, with oval holes and the wires to catch the locks.
I should ask ACSCO if they'd like to approach this as an aftermarket item. Maybe Delta Bay could make these, too (for the orig. locks). DB makes vintage "R" model stuff, too.
It's a matter of whether late model CS owners would like to do the "Clunk-clunk" thing every time they open the hood or not. But we know that it's a sound of honor, right??

p.s. a big welcome to the late model GT/CS folks over here!
