looking to put a hood lock on my 66 and wanted to get some input from anyone who has one: where they got it, or how they built it, and what type they suggest.
my only experience is with the chain/cable and a padlock, is this pretty much it?
I got my Inside Release Hood Lock Kit from California Mustang for my 1966. I haven't installed it yet but I plan to within the next month. Here is the part #:
California Mustang
Inside Release Hood Lock Kit part #16916 $34.95
i plan on using the inside release from an 80's ford pickup. it uses a ford door key for the lock on the release handle and can be keyed to match your current door key
We adapted one from a '70s big Oldsmobile. It's the cable release type (with the handle under the dash) and bolted in with no modifications at all. Even the mounting bolt holes lined up. Simply adjusted it to grab the hood catch. Price: $5 from the u-pull-it yard.
