I have a 72 Cutlass (S) and the hood that came with the car has hood levers and the hood I found in a junk yard is a 70's hood and I noticed that it didnt have the latch on the hood like the 1 that came with the car can that 70's hood work on the 72 Cutlass?

 

1970 is different in the lines on the front are straight where the 71/72 hood bulges up for the grille openings. They are not interchangeable.

 

Would it be ok if I sent you a picture of the hood thats on there now which is damaged pretty bad and the hood I have if so you have a email address

 

You can host it on a site like photobucket and link to it from here. It's not that hard.
