RE: hood pins installed - tips/warnings
ORIGINAL: MustangEsq
Honestly, I am shocked....sounds like the exact same spot I did mine. However, I have the bottom nut as far down as you can possibly go on the pin...maybe only 2-3 threads. Things are on there rock solid though.
I'll try and post some pics tonite, under and outer hood.

mustangesq - ur right, it was the spectre kit. i cant believe yours fit! i did mine on the metal mounting brackets for the radiator support, drilled through the open holes to make them, well, opener. then when mounting through it they were too short, so we welded the nuts on above it.
lance -prolly the bestidea!
157db - one weld did break loose when tightening the second bolt on for rigidity. the radiator metal isnt as nice as the nuts, lol! we did however uber weld the sh*t out of them after that. they won't be going anywhere, and if they do, my buddy will weld it again for me.
going to take pics right now, brb!
