Yes that's my question of the day.On a race spridget how does anyone support the front of their hood to keep it in alignment with the front fenders IF it's fiberglass or steel with all the structure removed up front where the 2 hood adjustable bumpers once were located?My hood only has the part for the area where the aluminum trim rivets in place... All else across the front was cut out when it adorned a West Coast F Production SCCA car.Ideas?  Images of your cars device to support the hood up front?Yeah!   I know a stock hood would fix this...my stock hood that I have on the car has about enough filler to weigh as much as a good by itself.   This hood was offered to me and it's really decent except for no way to get it to stay aligned up against the front hood pins.I can see it beating the 2 fiberglass fenders to death if i just allow it to bounce around.Kinda put too much time making the car presentable to allow this hood to damage the work done to date...Help?Thank you!ChuckAgain, any thoughts or images of other cars resolve for this would be appreciated...Sent from my LG Mobile
