Keep me posted. Hopefully we can arrange to get together. :grin:

I'm just back in from a build day run in my GT/CS. 46 years ago today it went down the production line! :cool:

Yeah, I think this guy got it. :grin:

Happy Birthday Bob! :grin:

Heal up quickly Arlie! Spring is coming. :grin:

That might change things. I'm not at all sure that I'd want to store a hood on top of a convertible.

Just noticed your screen name. You aren't doing this on a convertible are you?

:scared:

My shop puts blankets on the roof of the vehicle and then lays the hood on top of them.

Wow! Lots of detail there. :rolleyes:

Just did some searching. The Celica is the one that had the Mustang look to it. I still thing the image is a Corolla though. :grin:

I'm pretty sure that is a Toyota Corolla. There was a year that they looked a lot like the Mustang from the rear. They had a fastback roof and the tail lights had a very Mustangish look. I want to say early 70's, but not sure what year.

My GT/CS came with some parts which the PO had replaced. I just checked the hood bumper nut that he had removed. The nut is a 1/2 inch and has "S" and what looks like "181" stamped into it. He had replaced both bumpers and nuts and I have to assume that they are the originals as the car has...

That is SO COOL!! :grin:

Nice looking car, but too bad he didn't go the whole nine yards and install ALL the correct parts. My only objection is that he is not stating that it is a clone.

Thanks Arlie and Doug. I will go looking for that tool tomorrow. :grin:

Is that a fairly easy to find tool? Looks perfect to spread the clip. Am I correct then, if I get the clip off, and remove the spring, the lock itself will just pull up out of the washer?

Upon closer examination of the underside of the hood pins, I find that I DO have the clips. The funny thing is, the springs are on the underside of the pins, only held on by the clips. I checked the GT/CS book and now see that the springs should be above the hood. Guess this explains why my...
