Help!!

ok guys, you can put another mark beside my name in the list of stupid things. I shut my hood and forgot the lacth release cable wasn't hooked up, now how the hell am i gonna get the hood open. I hope you guys come back with some easy way of opening it. I haven't tried to get it open yet, after i did it I just figured it was time to go in the house and rest. ohh and the driver side fender and inner fender is not on, if that helps anything. I was letting the hood down cause i was quiting for the day and didn't want to leave it up all night. I knew I shoulda put the latch on last thing. i spent nearly all day wrestling with and chasing down new power steering parts.

You will have to reach through the grille with a long screwdriver and move the hook over. No big deal as I have done it before on a work truck I used to drive.
