Bad Day for me updated

simple mistakes can cost a lot of $$ , we all do them though
you will recover though

Well I went to fine to my carb and take it out for spin. The car was running good and right as I stepped on the gas my hood flew back and on the windshield. I had forgotten to put the pins in before I left. The top doesn't look bad at all but there are a couple scrapes in the back corners. The bracket mount on the left ripped off and the right part delaminated from the bracket. So now I'm trying to find a place to paint my original flat hood and put it back on. I think I can also take the hood springs and brackets off the fiberglass hood and put two more hood pins in the back. I think I may try that first since it woud be a quick fix.

Did you get the carb tuned to where you like it?  Sorry to hear about the hooD taking a hit.

Yeah the car ran great after the incident.

That sucks man.  Glad to hear it's running well though.  Was there any other scratchs on the car?
I'd probably have driven around with the hood off for awhile... then again maybe not... might get to distracted watching the engine...  ha ha.

not really anything you can see with the hood down.

Sorry to hear about your mishap.  Same thing happened to me in my Dodge pickup.  Scared the sh!t out of me!

Makes me think of the movie Tommy Boy and the GTX
