Hood pins?
Anybody here ever install Chevelle SS/Camaro style hood pins on their 73-87? I bought a 2" cowl induction hood and am painting it Hugger Orange with black stripse and thought it might be a cool idea and also do away with the problems of the old pull cable set up??

Re: Hood pins?
The point of the cable is to have "somewhat" of a lock. If that is needed where you live/work/park, you might look into it a little more. The ones that N2TRUX linked are really nice
