Hanging the hood on the wall

I hung the hood on the wall tonight up on a couple of shelf brackets fastened to studs with GRK structural lag screws. She looks good up there.

Removing the hood latch from the hood

I removed the hood latch from the hood today. 

This thing could use a good cleaning but still works. 

Removing the hood on a 1968 Mustang

The hood is held on by four bolts, but since I have one of the blinker hoods I had to disconnect two wires first.

The yellow and green wires go to the blinkers. 

There is also a ground wire that fastens to the car body above the brake master cylinder.

After those were disconnected it was a simple matter of unbolting four bolts and taking the hood off the car. 

 

My car now has no hood.
