C3 hood pins
My heavily modified 1971 has aftermarket hood, which has a tendency to pop up while driving, no matter of all attempts to adjust the locks.
Has anyone tried hood pins? Are there any threads about that with pics? I was not able to find any... Thanks!

If you want them even with one another you'll have to fabricate a different mount for the drivers side which I have seen in person with another forum members '74 but I don't think he has any photos posted.

I am thinking of going this route: http://www.q-latch.com/
I know some others on here used them too.
I figure to use the mini's
- Quik-Latch Mini (x2)
- Quik-Latch Fastener Bucket (x2)
about $60 total from Jegs
