Been planning on doing this mod myself especially after reading the how too story on this forum.
I just picked up the parts needed to do this job and paid a whopping $5.00! Got a spare hood release so I could save my original "if things go sideways", and a release cable from an 88 GMC truck. Hope to do mine very soon.
The only thing I don't like is the inside release handle so I will lop that off and make a custom piece for that. (too plasticy looking for my '69!)
On another note, when I was removing the cable from that 88 truck, I just couldn't believe how much plastic those trucks have and how flimsy everything I touched felt! Cheap Cheap Cheap! I appreciate my '69 even more now.
