It'd probably be ok on the street as long as you have someone to help lift it off when needed. But I've never ran a pin on hood, so someone else may have more info.

Just make sure strippers and hooter's girls don't jump onto your hood for pictures. Some of them think they are lighter than they really are.

try searching the web to see what they have to offer? I know a person who has it on their car

Edit note: please don't give links to non-sponsors it is better to support sponsoring vendors when possible since they in effect pay for your board

Thanks

I realize there is no area for the latch with a pin on hood but cant you fab up a way to bolt the struts and brakets back on. My buddy has a pin on hood or latchless hood on his mustang but has it bolted to the struts and uses two pins up front
