Just wanted to share a couple little tid bits.
One of the things that have been bugging me about my hood pins is the PITA to get out of the car, pull the pins, then go back to under the dash to pull the hood release.
Well, today I went retro and installed an exterior hood release. It is a pull cable style and I think it helps bring some old school look and feel to the car. The best part...It cost me $14 and the stock hood release still works too!
For those interested, some time in the next couple of weeks I am going to do this install for a buddy of mine. When I do, I will take some pics of the process and put up a step-by-step in the DIY section. The whole job takes about an hour.
I also got sick of the heat soak at the track. To help keep temps down, I revamped my Shaker as some of you have. I trimmed the sides off and vented the Shaker so it blows cool air over the intake and the top of the engine.
I know it's been like 3 months since you guys helped me out with the tips, but I still appreciate it! Thanks.
