427 Hood

[Marlar]

I will shortly order a '67 427 BB hood for my '65. I am having the paint switched back to what it came from the factory, Nassau blue. I have searched and can not find a set of chromed male hood locks. Can someone kindly steer me to a vendor? Although Paragon seems to have chromed hood hinges, they do not list the male hood locks. Any help will be appreciated.

Interesting. Either everyone uses the "other" forum or no one here has information about my question. :eyerole I posted the same question both places.

Paragon #7771 - custom chrome male hood latches. But I gave you that info two days ago elsewhere. Are they out of stock?

Thanks again. I have ordered them and unless they are not a normal item, it will be 4-6 weeks to arrive. I also found that Paragon has chromed hood hinges as well. You may have noticed that I was "chrome deprived" as a kid. For whatever reason, the Paragon web site did not show those hood latches until I used the part number you kindly supplied.

Most chrome parts come from a company called ChromeCo. I doubt that Paragon (focussed on restoration) keeps a large stock hence your waiting period.

Thanks, Paul. I bookmarked ChromeCo. It appears that they deal thru other companies and Paragon must be a minor player for them. Unfortunately, I had already placed an order, but since the BB hodd will be 8 to 10 weeks in arriving, no real harm has occurred. I appreciate the information for future use.
