Speaking of hood hinges... Mine must need some Viagra.

The hood on my 71 Road Runner opens and closes fine. However, the hood does NOT like to stay up. If the hood is up and I start the car, it'll come crashing down before I can even get out of the car and back out front. What's up with that?



I vaguely remember someone telling me once that hinges are different too - meaning that flat hood hinges weren't as strong as say Air Grabber hinges. So if you had a flat hood car, added an Air Grabber hood - the hinges wouldn't hold the hood up. Maybe THIS is your dilemma...
