Hood pins---???

[DesertRat]

I am thinking of installing the lanyard style hood lock pins on my 67 Barracuda. I know it is not correct and they did not come with them, just wondering if any of you have done it on a pre-70 A-body. The hood on my Comet starts the jitterbug at 85+ mph and the whole hood over the windshield thing makes me nervous.

It looks pretty bad in my opinion.

Thanks Tony, that looks cool and adds to the overall attitude of the car. I am going to do it! Do you happen to remember the vendor and model you worked with?
Thanks----DRO

Can you tighten down the hood pins or run the bumpers up? I use pop up springs on the front pins with my fiberglass bolt on hood. Little spring pressure on the underside keeps good pressure on the pins.

-- Good idea, especially if you have A Functional Hood Scoop.

I use Aerocatch and I really like them , no cables . Can be painted to match the car. About $70 a pair.

Hood pins are cool. Run them if you want to.
