  • Hood Pin Conversion

    Just did this last night in addition to swissing the hood some. It's still a work in progress--I'm planning on taking a lot more bracing out from under the hood and converting to a prop rod set-up. I didn't weigh everything yet, but I'm guessing it's around 10-15lbs so far.

      The only style hood pin's I've liked for the newer body styled cars are the locking hood pins (that use that hex key).

          Is it just me, or are you bringing up that topic a lot lately? Sounds to me like you may be the nervous one.... :D

          Looks great Craig! We'll have to get some better pics in the daylight and post em up....
