So I've seen a number of posts on here, and excuse me if I gave up reading them all after reading my 60th thread with no more information than the first. There are just no REAL options out there for locking our hoods if we have a '67. I can't tell you about the other years, since I only own a '67. So, we need to get on one of these companies that makes custom mustang parts to design something for us. Options for me must not deter from the lines of the car or be jerry rigged, and must have some semblance of security or they are useless.
I've heard options from:
Locking hood pins (I have a set waiting to be installed barring a better option. Not the most secure, but by far the cleanest.)
Remote hood lock release (I've seen these for sale in catalogs and on the internet, but I watched someone at a car show use a pocket knife to open a hood with this installed in 6 seconds without harming the car one iota.)
Masterlock (someone said using a bike lock/masterlock is an option, but not for me driving around and parking my car, it's ugly, but would be fine for storage)
Custom lock (Someone on here's grandfather had it installed, and it looks like a great option, however it's a one off custom job and very hard to replicate.)
So lets skip the +1 comments, skip the 'I have the same problem' comments and lets focus on ideas. What are some viable options? And if there are any custom fabricators out there, how about drawing up an idea or a prototype? If it's a viable option providing security, does not deter from the design of the car, and doesn't look jerry rigged, I will probably order one. And who knows, you might be the next big thing for everyone to want installed on their stang.
PS, please don't post ebay links, they expire and are useless unless someone reads this soon after the auction expires.
