If you can get to the hood hinge bolts from underneath, take them out 
and lift the front of the hood enough to get a long hooked piece of 
stiff wire in to pull the latch arm. After you get it open, add a piece 
of aircraft control cable or bicycle brake cable from the latch in 
through a convenient hole in the firewall so if/when it happens again 
you won't have to go through so much trouble.

Each time this comes up I pledge that I will add the emergency cable, 
but haven't yet!

Peace,
Pat
