Dumb stories ,about your first car...

my first car was a '68 mustang coupe -had a 302, was much better after shoehorning a 351C in. Well, it was better for smoking the tires off through all 3 gears of the C6 , anyways lol.

The hood hinges were shot so I simply removed them and made it a lift-off hood. Well, one time I take off...with the hood not latched... and the front of the hood starts to hover about 6-8" up...I let off (too late) and the hood flips over the roof and I watch it in the mirror as it slams paint-side-down on the road behind me.
It was fine other than some bondo getting knocked loose:D
