I have a pin on hood with cowl scoop but I am looking
to make it a hinged type BUT with a slide on hinge
and it will still have 4 pins(sorta fancy ones) in
the link.. I dont have springs so I use a prop rod..
so if I want I can slide it off the hinges and set
it off to the side or use the stanchions like Doc said
