I have been searching unsuccessfully for a way to lock the hood on my 65 Mustang, so that only I can open it. The only locks that I have found are the pin type and you have to drill holes in your hood. I do not want to do that. Has anybody figured out a way to lock their hoods without drilling holes in it? I just don't want any potential thief or vandalizer to be able to open the hood. Thanks alot for any info.

That may be the only way to keep it locked. Not sure, but i will look around and see.

Back when I was a young whippersnapper, I used a nice piece of chain and a Master lock. Looped through the hood latch and lower latch support...worked like a champ.

It might work though...

It worked great 40 years ago....dont know why it wouldnt now.

My step dad told me he use to do the same thing on older cars a chain and pad lock.I wonder how hard it would be to rig up a cable pull latch like most newer cars have.

I drilled the holes, it was no biggie for me, it looks good with the locks too...they are now locked and secured.

Are you guys looking to lock the hoods to protect the battery? If so, just park next to Jeeps as their hoods don't lock either.

I say go with the bike lock too it seems like the easiest way to me... I looked around and could not find a mechanism for locking down a classic hood without pins... it just does not seem like there is a way to do it...
