1972 Dodge Colt

Got the Colt over to the Dallas Mopar Show. Took Second Place in the Race Car Class! In spite of everything that is not where finished it was a popular car. Lots of great comments and lots of slant fans! Met some great FABO folks, Demonracer,383Duster, and I am sure some I didn't know. Some things I need to fix on the hood, I could see the center flapping on the trailer at 70 miles an hour! Thanks Bill and friends for helping unload and load the Colt at the show!

Yep had the same lifting problem with the hood on my 68 cuda . It was a hood I bought from a guy that was replacing hood and fenders on a factory 68 hemi cuda . This was years ago . When I ran the car for the first time with 4 hood pins , one on each corner just like the factory did . At 125 mph it would lift about 3 inches in the middle , I added 4 more pins and this stopped . You just need to add more snaps in front and back , also looking at your intake I see that there are 2 stands in the middle , maybe add a few to the middle to keep the hood down at speed . Just thinking . John
