69 Nova SS hood questions

[rickp]

I need a replacement hood for my 1969 SS Nova. I have already been through an older (new in the box) Goodmark hood that was terrible. I have a chance at a 1973-74 hood. I'm being told this hood will work and the only difference is the front hood lip moulding. Will the 68-72 moulding attach with no problem and is the overall underside hood bracing the same as the 68-72? I still want to install the hood louvers correctly. I have the small rear additional hood louver back braces on order, that are only on ss hoods.
Asside from this if anyone could suggest an aftermarket manufacturer of a decent steel hood I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Rick
