Hood Pin Set-Up
I've got an aftermarket L88 hood that I would like to pin down in the rear versus using the stock set-up. (cable, pins and latches). I like the road-race look. Does anyone know if there is a manufacturer of brackets and pins for the C3s? Thanks!

You use the stock brackets. Just screw the hood pins in place of the male pins. Depending on how long your pins are you may have the weld a nut on top of the stock brackets first. You can see the left one in this pic.

Very nice engine bay, looks very clean and un cluttered.
