hood pin locations

[sleepychallenger]

i was wondering if anyone had pics of the hood pin locations for both the front and rear pins for a lift off hood? Just wondering how it is done in case i decide to go this way.

the front pins are easy to locate , the hole is already int the body & you can see the hole in the inner hood frame , the rear is totally up to you they never had a lift of hood so you need to make brackets & holes

has anyone done this and do you have pics?

For the back I just took a piece of steel about 1"w x 6"L and bent it into a L shape, drilled a hole in the top for a pin, marked and drilled two holes in the side for where the hood hinge was and bolted it in place..

can you post some pics please, i was hoping to do something without drilling, i think i might have to get creative with this one

i`ll have to get some pics of mine,it`s a cuda but should give you some ideas for yours.I made a bracket that uses the 3 hood hinge bolt holes and places the pin in line with the fronts side to side and above the cowl as I thought having them directly above the hinge location was too far forward and did not look very good.You can see how far back they are in these pics but I don`t have any of the brackets yet.

Here are some pictures of pin brackets we made to put a lift of hood on a Swinger.These bolt into the hood hinge bolts so they can be removed and the hinges put back on later if he wanted to go back to a stock hood.

what are the rubber bumpers on there?

Those were used to set the height of the pin and were later thrown away.
