@wils841 showed me a cap he was using to keep the hood latch pop-up spring from scratching the underside of his Barracuda hood.

That got me to thinking...
This is just a prototype.

Planned part would be black rubber like material.

It snaps on so you could remove it for shows.

The flat top could have custom logo or the like engraved into it or a decal. Decal would probably rub through pretty fast!

Thought about a modification.

Could even be a bit smaller in diameter.

And people say I was 'tarded cuz I put a bottle cap on there.

They're not wrong, but correlation does not imply causation.
 
I can do all kinds of things, I just have to be careful with trade marks.

I was thinking:

I especially like the fratzog, and was going to suggest that in my earlier reply, but it would be limited to Dodge only.
That's not a problem with my '69 Dart! Price?
 
I was thinking $10.00 shipped with a no questions asked semi lifetime guarantee (IE as long as I have the ability to make a replacement)

The current material I'm making them out of is a semi flexible material. I will put on on my Dart and see how it holds up. I sprayed one with some Flex seal like paint to give it a rubbery feel. I have a rubbery material but it is hard to print, but I will be trying that too, detail is lost so no logos on the rubbery material at this time.

If you want something like GT, GTS, S, a year number like 67 or other relatively simple (non trade mark logo) engraved on the part that would be fine. Maybe a silhouette of your car?


As for logos, I would not feel comfortable putting any of those on the part at this time. I need to research fair use more, but so far it seems trademarks are protected forever. I will send a letter to Stellantis asking for permission to use the various marks to adorn the part. We will see what happens there. If anyone has an inside track to the powerful at Stellantis or maybe Mark Warman (he seems to have an inside track) or a aftermarket manufacturer with those permissions send me a PM.

BTW if anyone has a non reproduced small parts, I would be happy to help reverse engineer them, preferably from a good sample. I will give you free printed parts or the CAD file you can have printed or machined. I keep the design and will sell the parts from that design down the road. The RE and Free parts are all on my dime.

Small button type. I like it the most, not very noticable.

And I think we have a clear winner..

Small and thin, just covers the top of the spring.


This is the larger one with PISS POOR paint added

I'll make you one but when you see it you'll change your mind.

I'll try making one in rubber like material also.

Man, it would be Dead *** WRONG for me to tell You to do Something like You are Saying. But after I read the letter from Walter P. Chrysler's Great Grandson, to the board of directors warning them about house to Lantus has ties to China and how that's going to screw us even further, I'd Say " Take it All Man!"
 
I'd love to get these for all three of my Darts, I have been using a piece of black hose on the crosspiece at the end of the spring. How can I order some???
