hood pins

theodoor24 · January 24th, 2007, 02:45 AM

does anyone know of a place that makes a good set of hood pins for a 68?

Horseshoeing · January 24th, 2007, 05:45 AM

I never had hood pins, but I think just any old hood pins would work. Why do want hood pins? When I was about 16 I wanted them because they looked cool.

theodoor24 · January 24th, 2007, 07:05 PM

thats basicly it im 17 and i think they look cool. most of the ones ive seen say there only for the 67 gt350 but i guess thed fit a 68 coupe

Thats funny that you want them for the same reason I did. In hind sight, I am glad I did not get them. If you do get some, get the very best you can and hope they don't start to rust up on you and look like crap.

If you look around summit you should be able to find some stainless ones.
As for my car, I had to get them.... I'm scared I'm going to loose my hood.

I seen some guys that had them because there hood latch was not working right.

theodoor24 · January 27th, 2007, 02:40 AM

If you plan on racing your car pin er down. We have a Steeda hood on our 92,and the latch popped a couple times on the highway.Pinning it will make it safer if you take it to the track.

We sell hood pins for your car for 19.95 for a complete kit. Call Tony at MCRPARTS.com TOLL FREE 1-877-878-5890 if you would like to order a set.

Buy a set of reproductions of the originals from NPD national parts depot I personally like the twist ones but get whatever you want they got bought the pin and the twist types

Hey, I was thinking of doing the same thing; but for safety reasons. Can you fasten the hood pins inside the hood so they can't be seen from the outside?

68pony · July 19th, 2007, 03:32 PM

you can get locking hood pins. I have seen them on a couple of imports running around.

460brevill · July 19th, 2007, 06:15 PM

Really??? Wow. With all the gay laws that VA has, I would have never guessed that. So with no hinges, don't you worry about the hood flipping forward when you hit the brakes hard?
