Hi guys,

The wife is making me take my stock hood out of the bedroom closet and hang it in the garage.

Can I just hang it with a rope through the latch hook or is that not strong enough to hold it there for a long time?

How would you do it without going crazy of course. Just safe and not harmful to the hood if it ever goes back on the car.

 

the hood latch will support it until the end of time.

 

i would install it(bolt it in lol) over the garage side door like a porch cover. and make it hinge down when the weather gets bad.

and i think he means the rope breaking.

 

Thanks guys! I'll probably just rope it to a stud and call it good then.

 

Hang the wife in the garage, leave the hood be

My other hood's been behind my hutch for well over a year now..

 

 

I hung mine on the ceiling.

3 screw in hooks in the ceiling joists, and about 10 ft of heavy elastic cord, all from Ace Hardware.

I can take a pic later if you like.

 

My extra hood is hanging from two screws and two coat hanger wires .

 

Nice thread, always refreshing to see new material in here

 

I'll take some pics how we have mine hung in our shop....works great!

Basically you take some 2x4s and screw them into the studs parallel to the ground to make a little lip a few inches from the ceiling. Then you take an L bracket and screw it into the ceiling in a stud and drill a hole in it to put a bungee cord through.

You hang the hood so the paint is faicing the ground and you use a bungee cord from the L bracket to the factory hood latch. The corners that are near the windshield sit on the lip and you're set.......

I'll get some pics in the next few days if it will help.

 

My setup is similar.

My significant other made me remove all the car parts in the spare bedroom. We rarely have guests, so I figured there would be no harm in filling that room with spare parts. LOL

 

Let's see some pics from these set ups.

I've still got all my stock parts in the garage, but the hood went inside into a spare bedroom closet. Now we've decided to let someone move in with us to help out a friend who needs a little support right now, so she's moving into the bedroom where the hood was.

The wife says, hang the hood on the wall in the garage. I'm thinking, "you have 3/4 of our closet now and you've filled up the other bedrooms closet and I can't even put one little hood into the OTHER closet?"

Now, I'm looking for ways to hang it...

 

Ha! I had mine in the dining room for about 4 months. I kept telling her it was modern art. And besides, we never use the dining room anyways!

For sure, the latch is strong enough to hang it by.

 

A little belated but here it is

 

^ Me jealous of your garage haha.


=Ben

 

oh noes!! theres an e-thug in your garage!!!!

 

If your garage has rafters, I would wrap it in something, and just lay it on top of them.

 

haha, thats not an e-thug, thats a tired member of this forum

 

Get out of my head!
