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).
