I have decided to put pins in my front hood and install a gas door so I dont have to remove the whole hood everytime I get gas. I have seen some that looked cool or as cool as possible but I am having trouble finding any or where to buy them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, I am also looking for a pin set to use, I think I need at least 4 pins to hold it down, maybe 6 if I need to. The hood is fiberglass and no matter how I try, I cannot get it to sit right with the hinges installed. Show me some pictures of what you have seen and where do I get them? Thanks everyone.

It's time for me to get back into my car and get it finished.

Scott,

How have you been, nice to hear from you?

I'd try to adjust the hinges and stock latch as 4 pins will be a hassle on a street car. There are two bolts on the hinge to body that are adjustable. If necessary you can shim the hinge to hood. Plus most pins will leak and you'll be mounting the pins inside the seal channel...

If the fiberglass doesn't fit well to begin with, the pins won't make much difference. My Rennspeed had alot of body work done to look right but they were one of the few who made a headlight delete hood I wanted.
