Thread: hood and hinges

Tweet

Here is how I did mine. I used 3/4" SS tubing with a .083 wall. Inside I put a solid bar with a notch in it with a spring in the end pushing forward. tapped the end of it, it goes threw the fire wall to a knob under my dash. Then on the hood this "J" hook to catch inside the slotted bar in the tube. On the other side I just made a regular looking hinge. I Incorporated my hood prop into this also. I hope you can make it out in the photo's. I looked at the hood mechanisms out there and thought they where all to big and bulky I didn't want to see all that crap hanging out there and also I wanted it look good if I decided to run with no hood at all.
