I've seen several sidescreen cars with one or two leather hood straps.

We are still pre-paint so I have time.  I think they look really good (not =
worried about originality) but I just wonder how much trouble they are when=
 you need to open the hood.  On our TR6 we open the hood and disconnect the=
 battery whenever the car is going to sit for hours/days/etc.  I'm thinking=
 that the hood straps become a pita.  And, of course, you can't just take t=
hem off.

Anyone have them or experience in this area?
