I have read about 2 pins, 4 pins used for mounting hood.
Are there any other ideas? Does anyone remove tension/springs, and use existing hinges? Retro |

There is about 12-15 pounds difference in a steel hood and a f/g hood.
But only about 3 pounds differace in a race f/g and a street f/g. So if it is a true race only car, use race glass. If it is a DE/street car use street glass. Street glass can use stock hardware and is easier to work with. Lifting my front hood on and off, even if it is a race piece is a PITA. Paul |
