seems like i see alot of damaged hood cowls, so i want to put a set of hood pins/locks on my 4" cowl hood. i think i want all stainless, i have seen some that are rusty , not a good look. i also think that i want the flush locking type, does any one have any suggestions? how about a good source to get them. thanks john1614.

i have ford motorsport hood pins but the base that mounts to the hood are off a 66 shelby they dont use screws to mount them on the hood they just stick on.

Yeah, definatly get something that wont rust...
Chrome doesnt last at all, maybe if it was just a pure show car.
Regret getting em, the pins just went to ****, and im sure those poles the pins go through arnt far behind either.

i have hood pins and they still look great. purchased the cheapos at autozone or some place like that 3 years ago. I dont drive the stang in the winter though, so they wont rust..... think of them like chrome wheels.

The cheapo's will hold up if you use some wax/polish on them.
On my racecar I like to use the Aluminum ones that Moroso sells.
