Fab brackets to mount the pin horizontally and weld to the rear hood crossmember to the outside of the hinge mounting area . Make a hole in the outer upper portion of the cowl , reinforce the area with 1/8" plate that aligns with the pin as the hood closes .
This will not only keep the rear of the hood from the windshield in a collision it will also keep the hood in alignment when closed .
