      HoodPins.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

      p.s. Since I screw up the poll... please reply with your preference and reasons why... (c:]

      I like the locking ones. You're keeping your stock latch though too, right?

      Pin type I have had one catch on fire while driving. Thank god I had pin type. Will only use pin type. I will never leave car alone so I won't worry about someone opening hood while I am away.

      Just add a fire suppression system to your car! Then you won't have to worry about it.

      Chad and I were just talking about updating the valve covers and air cleaner with something other than chrome and I think this is a perfect idea to combine with a brushed aluminum air cleaner lid!!
