71 and 72 hood question

Funny, I installed a '71 Dart hood using my '74 Duster hood hinges and had no issues whatsoever. I obviously swapped the entire front clip, but retained the '74 Duster hood hinges.

Also, holy thread resurrection batman.

For those curious, a few reference pictures showing the length of a Dart hood compared to Duster front fenders (the Dart hood is longer than a Duster/Valiant hood). Also, the clearly original '74 hood hinges (tan) on my '71 hood (black).
