My A12 Road Runner lost its original LOH hood back in the early '70's street racing and then got run over by the Chevelle it beat. Guess the Chevy driver got the last laugh.


How about a "reset light"? A red light in plain view on the dash that activates when you remove the hood and then has to be turned off or reset (inside and maybe the same light) when you put the hood down? Put the trigger switch on the radiator support. They are common on most cars to alert when the hood is still open. I don't think the way current (pun) hood open switches work that they shut off the engine but I think they won't let you start the car with the hood not properly closed. That's what you need plus the alert light inside your car. This way with the light if you open the hood with the engine running, like you would to check transmission fluid level you would (hopefully) see the dash "hood open/not closed" alert light. I wonder how many kits I could sell to the Lift-Off-Hood guys before the fact?
