The 1976 Beater Build - by Wixthedog

Nothing incredibly cool but I go tired of looking at the crinkled hood so I decided to make some hood braces for it. I see you can buy them but I did not like how they looked and I have a bunch of steel and mad welding skills at my disposal... I also found some hinges that I was told were in great working condition but I cannot get the rear of the hood to sit down. It's frustrating to say the least.

Wanna make your own braces? Check out the pic for all of the dims and find 22" of 1/8"x2" flat bar and 16" of 1/2" square stock and have fun! I reused the two existing hood bolts and had some 1" self tappers laying around. I plan on doing something better than those when I take them off to paint but they will do in the short term.
