Re: Hood poppers
Pull the handle and the hood opens 1"-2". No prying or chipping paint or grills. Bolts to your stock hood without any modifications or drilling. I just finished a new batch and the cost of everything I use went up! I have to make or modify most of the components. Springs: cut, heat, bend, grind/polish. ***(2020: new custom made stainless springs). Retainers: cut, grind, sand and punch. ***(Corvette=$$$). Straps: cut, grind/sand and drill. Hardware Instructions These little suckers are a pain in the butt to build. Please feel free to copy or duplicate these, if you like. 2020 price= $70 a set---shipped NOTE: The "hood latch" assy is not included...use your existing one.

Re: Hood poppers
It does wear a little spot. You can just slip a piece of 1/4 OD clear tubing over the bottom coil, if that bothers you.
I will include that with all Hood Poppers from now on. Thanks, Frank |

Re: Hood poppers
If you don't mind me asking, where are you getting the springs? I have an idea for my truck but aren't finding springs.

Re: Hood poppers
So, I guess this is a solution to a problem i don't know I have, or Might have in the future.
My hood opens fine with the pull of the handle, do they overtime not just pop open? does this Assist the opening so you dont have to pry the hood open at some point? Looks like a nice addition.

Re: Hood poppers
Astro, mine started not popping up at all, just sitting there when I popped the release. After fiddling with it for a while I got it to work just "ok". Basically lithium grease on the hinges made a huge difference, plus adjusting the hood "spike", not sure what the real name is, to fit more center in the support hole. I think the biggest problem comes from nearly 50 year old hinges. I like the idea of the spring that Frank makes, looking forward to installing it.

Re: Hood poppers
The originals are better than the imports, so I don't sell the import/repops. No new originals available right now. Frank
