The Hood Took Flight.
For the second time in my mustangs lifespan the hood flew open ill get pictures on here tomorow but it looks brutal the hood's now blue and i finally bought hood pins...
The cowl is destroyed. Its bent so bad i could use it for a half pipe for my tech deck. The next hood will have to be a liftoff but i was wondering if there was a cowl hood that stretched back far enough to cover up the whole cowl?
And how hard is it to dremel out the hood cowl do you need to remove the windshield?

RE: The Hood Took Flight.
Yea it was bouncin around at about 60 then WHAM scariest moment in my life stuck my head out the window ace ventura style and pulled off to the side of the road and broke my hand when i walked outside and saw the damage.
Anybody remove their cowl before with a little tuturial for me? My new windshield is in and my awful looking hood (blue hood, white car) is hoodpinned.
And the cowl is getting rusted in numerous spots where the indentations were made, its hideous.
What would you do?

RE: The Hood Took Flight.
I took a look at the damage as i walked outside the car, the dents in the roof, the cowl panel totally bent, hood mangled, and the black wiper grate/cowl was destoyed. I then punched the hood as hard as I possibly could. I unbolted it and left the mangled hood behind a wawa and drove the whole weekend without it, i can fix the roof what do i do with the mangled cowl that's welded in?

RE: The Hood Took Flight.
Man that sucks. Im gonna take this as a lesson from you man. To date I still have not put on my hood pins. I have a 3 inch cowl hood and every time I drive I see that hood bouncing around. I know it's latched on, but still I guess you can never trust that latch. I have a set of hood pins I picked but it's sitting around. I need to get them on. Hope all works out for you man. Good luck!
