Paul, looks good. They are the same from my email to you?



Gary D.



P.S. Just checked my email.

 

[Kevin Lang]

What do these things do?

 

[Paul H]

Thanks Gary. I will check the part number tomorrow. Let me know when and if you want to do these, it was a little nerve racking drilling the holes.



Kevin, they are really more for show and looks, since I do have a functioning hood latch.

If i did not have a functioning hood latch these would be the hood latch and hold the hood on the truck.



Also good to be different.

[Paul H]

Scott, no it was there at the Long Island meet.



I like them alot. Little nervy installing them but they look good to me.

Paul, I felt the same when I drilled 7 holes in the hood for the scoop. I had these on my '67' R/T, I liked them then and like them now. I'll have to look and see if they can be mounted over the small grille openings.

 

[Paul H]

Gary, Probably not we looked all the options and this was the best spot. Also this is the thinnest part of the hood as the pins are not that long. Also Gary the only reason I did this was I allready drilled 6 holes for the hood scoop. Those were 1/4 inch though. These are 1" holes.....

Thats all show, no need to to have them on a trac, they serve no purpose.

 

[Patrick Pierobon]

If the hood latch works, then why would you need these?



Just my Opinion.

If the hood latch works, then why would you need these?

Why would anyone remove perfectly good working OEM wheels and install some aftermarket wheels?

Paul, really glad you did the pins. I was afraid the hood would fly open when you got to 165mph...:lol:

One (well, two) more things to wash and wax around. Less is more, IMO.
