HoodPin.net Poll
Marty (Syborg tt) generously donated a set of his hood pins to my project 71 Firebird... www.HoodPins.net
I'm leaning toward his polished/locking hoodpins but I need your help in decided which ones to use!
V/R,
Ty

Can I vote for NO hood pins? Never been a fan...though they do look a lot better than they used to.

x2  , Are you running a fiberglass hood where you have to use hood pins?

HoodPins
It is a fiberglass hood. I've been looking to upgrade all areas of the car with safety in mind... it's gonna be driven regularly! Bigger brakes for safety, 3-point seat belts etc. AND hood pins will make the corners of the hood stay down over 100mph!

2nd hoop pins from the left. You want solid latching. Usually the locking ones have tiny little pins that are prone to fatigue and break. I have a CF hood and there is no latching mechanism. Hood pins are a must for that. I ordered a set from Marty a while back. Very nice workmanship.

Second from the left in full polished as your car has enough bright work on it to blend nicely!
