now, my question is, this hood is hard as hell to shut. i already moved back the posts by re-drilling holes to make those little plastic screws work. still wont hardly shut, i worked on it for about an hour before nearly blowing up. finally got it to shut, opened it again, and the bastard wont shut again. any tips to make a cobra bumper work with a mach 1 hood?

can I elongate the latches slots and make the latch lift up more?

latchless / hood pins ftw

mustanginky · March 14th, 2011, 11:38 PM

I didn't think about that actually may not be a bad idea. I just don't want "posts" sticking out of my hood. Wouldn't mind a trick set of latches or some sir if they make them. I do have a set of hood pins laying around though.

im thinking about going with hood pins...i left my lights on once, and my key wont open the door sooo i had to get ahold of a slim jim just so i could get in and pop that damn hood lol...and hood pins will fix that problem lol

Off topic but what color is that? Still atlantic blue?

You might have already checked this but is the hood hitting on the rubber bumpers in the middle of the fender? I had to cut one of mine down to almost nothing because of the way my cowl hood fit.

mustanginky · March 15th, 2011, 04:39 PM

Its bright Atlantic blue actually I will probably do hood pins.

i may check this out as well, thanks for the heads up. i don't think it's that though, the hood shut just fine before the bumper went on.
