Thanks, Guys !
It's rare that I actually like a build after spending a lot of time on it, but I like this one.
Sorry, the pics are small, still battling the sizing thing.
(Takes longer fooling with that now, than building the car....
)
The hood pins are just a small piece of rod in the hole with a small drilled round flat piece of .010 stock for the base. (Punched it out with a leather hole puncher)
I did the wire the easy way. Glued a piece of 32 ga wire to the inside lip of the hood and just did a couple wraps around the rod & snipped off the end. Just leave it long like the pin would look like.
