Hood Brace

[turbomangt]

Guys, did you all forget? had to return them becuase they didn't fit on my custom hood. It killed me becuase I loved those struts. Gary

That's cool! (the Blaine's holding the hood at various angles)

I guess that is because there is no spring or anything to push it up all the way..?


OK, I have to say this because, like, I feel, like, innundated by Blaine's...similar to all of those AOL CD's. Personally, to my taste, the struts make just a bit of clutter.

I wonder if the OEM hood-stick-prop-thing can be shortened (cut, weld, chrome) for the same result, and swap between the two..?

I Have a super hood prop for the Basset Hound Cruiser. Somehow I don't think it would work for you though.

hehehehe, does your bone go from 18-1/2" to 46-3/4?

I have to say it again, your PT is soooo cool, Hound.

Chrome plumbing pipes in 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" work great. They make them in 12" and 16" lenghts. Cover the ends with a little tape to protect your paint and hide that with the plumbing cover plates for that size pipe...look great and are cheap.

I also have a setup made with 2 pieces of plexiglass about 18" High that I put a computer generated pic of our Pt and a Mods list sandwiched between them and use that as a hood prop. Even had small vinyl stickers made with all the logos from the companys that I used for those mods around the edge. The clear plexiglass allows peeps to still see engine details and read all the mods that were done at the same time. Boltedthe 2 pieces together with crome bolts and acorn nuts to make it look nice and allows me to change the list and pic anytime.

Very nice idea. Can you post some pictures please?[|)]

How about a chrome "X" type lug wrench?
