Try it. Try opening the bonnet without the handle some time. Laughing

My 65 has the puller in the glove box and it opens no prob without the handle. I dont know if the 64 has that too? Just have to grab it under the lip of the hood. I just welded the latch on the underside, then took the bolts that hold the handle on out. Then filled the holes with weld and finished it off. Has worked great for 6 years!
