rjm-1 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Well, I'm getting closer to final fit up of my SS hood and was wondering how others close their SS hood? On my Corvettes I'd always drop it from about a foot or a little higher so I wouldn't have to push on the fiberglass. It was common practice for Vet owners. But I'm not sure about the SS hood because of the hood pins. How do you close your SS hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert OHara Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I lower mine to the first latch , then push on the middle with both hands light as possible. Mine is an 07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Snake Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I lower mine to the first latch , then push on the middle with both hands light as possible. Mine is an 07 +1. Never drop the hood down from any height and never pull the hood release with the pins still latched per Shelby American instructions when I picked up my Super Snake.

RogerS Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Correct, DO NOT DROP THE HOOD! Lower it to the latch catches then place equal pressure, with both hands, in the center of the hood, and press firmly. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
