"No Budget" 1966 Valiant 100 straight axle GASSER

As soon as I get a new grinder, I'm going to lighten the stock hood and make it a pin on.. I don't like the thin el-cheapo tin plates that come in the hood pin kits (thay bend get scratched up and rust), so I'm going to make my own hood pins out of aluminum plate, a threaded rod and 4 of these clip thingies.. I'll go by the hardware store tomorrow and get a threaded rod, washers, nuts and clip pins.... I'm still not finished with these plates yet... Aluminum road construction signs ROCK for fabbin' parts...
