Hmm not a fan. Was lookin at the ringbrothers pins unsure though

I used Aerocatches on my Firebird.....I like them, nothing to catch on anything, positive lock and key lockable (optional). I also like that they're very much like a cowl lock on an aircraft.

I just actually installed these yesterday. Real easy to install, more of a traditional look, Hotchkiss 1760.

Those look great, did they come with the lanyards because yours look different than what Hotchkis has on their site. I was looking at Ring Brothers too, but they don't respond to emails for some reason?

Just cheap mr.gasket cables from jegs. I used black shrink wrap on the d rings and metal crimp on the lanyards so there wouldn't be a risk on scratching. Heres the cables. http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720/1213/10002/-1

Sweet, I dig it.

Lutzy's look nice for an updated classic look. I plan to go with an aerocatch style.

I like the aerocatch style but not the plastic,was lucky and found these aluminum ones.

Where did you find the aluminum ones from?

[ragz]

Got them online from bings.ca he was really good and quick to deal with.

Hidden pins on my 67 impala

I can't seem to find the site where you got the aluminum hood pins. Would you happen to have a link or have a contact for the person that made them.

[Motobrewmaster]

I like the idea of hidden pins. Has anyone else done this? How do you latch them?

[Zspoiler]

Maybe you can fab your own ? Since "G" bodies do have an inside hood release .You might use that as starting point .And maybe the aviation. or race cars as well.
