For all you Six Pack lovers w/lift off hoods

[GetX'd]

The "Tired Warrior" is almost refreshed. Still got work to do and paint is just around the corner. What I'm looking for is where all you lift off fiber glass hood guys get those stands that set your hoods up even at about 2 feet above the engine compartment. I only see them at shows. You know what I'm talking about they're like extensions of the hood pins.

Would really appreciate some tips on where I can get a set.
Thx!

I make them at the shop out of Aluminume tubeing .
There Not thin and crappy but actuall Radious rod tubbing. You can polish it also.
If I remember I think I still have a set from my last runner?

You make them. Dont forget the heights are different.

You make them. Dont forget the heights are different.

If you make them all the same, won't the hood sit at the same angle as it does on the car?

I have made them to the customers spec's as some want them taller. There is Not that much of a diferance between the front and back Depending on how thay mount the pin's
That is why we always have them send us there spec's on lenght.
I will see if I can find a set I have already done and post them here for you all to see.

That would be great to see a set in action. Or just the set. I'm in the market for a set. What are the particulars?
