I am going to pick up some paint stripper and check that area I have read the other tell tale signs are if the bump stop circles have 3 tack welds In a triangle shape and if the rear corners and kinda cut at a strange angle. This hood has both those if I could find a stamp I would be pumped as those actually came off the assembly line.

Yes, absolutely correct. Good luck.

Nice, stay on it. You only have one first car.

thanks guys, so I had a little more time to fit the wheels today and noticed that with the front wheel secured it pops the center cap out. They were built for my baer brake package so i am not sure why they keep popping out the center cap.

It's hard to say definitively, however the rear corners near the hood hinge have me thinking this is a reproduction. An example of the differences can be found here
That being said, being a reproduction is certainly not a bad thing if it fits. I've seen people spend just as much time fitting a NOS hood.
