poohtang Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Has anyone figured out a fix/improvement on the hood rod with the new hood? It looks like the end of the rod need reformed. It scraps the hood and does not have good engagement with the hood hole when supporting the hood. I noticed the tape in this photo of the rod and hood in a recent posted photo: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php...st&id=43067 What's everyone doing? And what about the hydraulic lifts like I had on my GT500? Shelby took them off during SS conversion and said they won't work. Are there different ones available? Everytime I open the hood, I feel like one slight bump and its coming down on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeet Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Try Redline Tuning and ask if their hood struts will work on your new hood. They have a section in the FAQ about after market hoods. Redline Tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 A couple layers of the clear bra stuff might work to keep it from rubbing the paint off. Even on my stock hood the paint is worn by the rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB GT500SS Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 +1Works great. Are you talking from experience because I would love to get rid of my prop rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohtang Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I haven't had a chance to call QuickLIFT yet, but have you used one of their systems on the fiberglass Super Snake hood, or just the stock GT500 hood? If you are using on a SS hood, which model do you have and any specifics you can share? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
