I haven't ever seen a special f-body specific bracket for the f-body so I'm assuming any generic brand bracket will work. I'm looking at the Quick Mount 90 degree version in Jegs (PN# 710-71552 on pg 215). Are these suitable for the f-body? Also is there anything better? Where are the best points of attachments and how many fasteners are you guys using? It looks like all the kits come with 10 but I would think you would use at least 5 on each side and then maybe a couple in the front. If you have any pictures or information that will help me get my new hood on I appreciate it.
Thanks

Also if I choose to use regular pins instead of the dzus fasteners would 4 be enough and has anyone else attached the front 2 pins in the plastic like Terry? I seen some pictures of his in a post but not sure how I like the idea of the front of the hood being secured through a piece of plastic.
Thanks

Madman seems to be the guy to talk to about this. He quoted me a reasonable price and his craftsmanship is top notch!

I talked to Madman earlier. He's never sold the stuff via mail order he said but he's going to look into it and see if he thinks its possible. Thanks for the suggestion guys and if you have anything else please keep the info coming.
