my latest mod, hydraulic hood prop (no more prop rod)
my latest "mod" here a hydraulic hood prop, using an old hatch strut
this mod was a total cost of nothing and required absolutley no drilling
that hatch strut is near dead and still holds the hood fine, im hoping it will open the hood itself when i put a brand new one it
nad for the record, it doesnt hit anything under the hood
this wold be a great mod for ppl with 79's where the hood prop is on the passenger side, which i have heard is quite an annoyance
anyway on to the pics, enjoy.,

Just tossin' out ideas. For people with extra hatch struts this is great though!

Are you seriously serious Greg? That's freakin awesome if you are!
Could we have the patent number?
I just want to see a regular fellow from this forum make it big

Heh. No money, no application.
Edit: ouch. I guess times have changed. The lowest fee is now $375.
