i like that nice

I have the stock hood and now my cable is messed up. I'm considering getting the aerocatch latches, installing them like you did, and removing my cable completely

Woah, I just realized that the side of your valve cover has been removed and I can see all of your DOHC goodness

if you have a OEM metal hood just go buy another cable its not worth the price of the latches and the work involved to use them on a metal hood. Had i know you needed one i could have sent you the cable before i cut it out of the fender this winter.

Gotcha, My cable is broken right at the latch. It's hard to explain why it doesnt work. A lot of it has to due with the position of it where it meets the latch. I have a grill delete at the moment so I grab it by hand and pull the cable to the right to open my hood. I might be able to rig it up at home to make it work all the time. I'm just afraid to intall my MSP bumper and a dg grill and then not be able to pop my hood

I would msg the guys parting out their cars and see if you can get the latch and cable and just install all new pieces.

just noticed and sent another msg for you, but you might not be able to change it since Rico is already a user name for someone else on the forums..

^ appreciate it

now i guess my next mod/mods will be adding a lil life to the interior. adding wink mirror today then getting fabric to do pillars etc. maybe get a shifter boot from redlinegoods. had some for my SS made before and they do great work.
lets not forget the bucket seats sitting in my room for the past month, been lazy to go to the shop so they can get me a quote for brackets lol

we can change user names upon request? are there certain requirements that must justify this change? or does it just have to be approved?
