Hi. I recently bought a high performance 350. Since i have put so much money in my car i am getting scared that someone will take my stuff from my car. My hood does not lock at all anybody can just feel around the outside of it and open it up easily. So my question is are there any availible lock kits out there for old hoods?Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

JC Whitney sells a hood lock that you can't see from the outside. I have it on mine and it works great.

I saw a guy who had a cable and Master lock setup to secure his hood. He was using an RS release lever and had the cable hooked to the support, then looped it through the hood bracket somehow and locked it back to the support (reached through the lower valence panel- gotta have long arms!). Hard to unlock and no way to get the hood open without bolt or cable cutters!

This is whats on my 68, and I like the smooth clean look, but as with any lock, only keeps the honest man out. hood lock by Mr.Gasket (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MRG%2D1472)

IS this the hood lock you are talking about:

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but it looks like the Wolo #207 hood lock (the ones pictured above) are no longer being made.

Anyone know of any other hood locks of this type?

Thanks!

I used a length of chain and a Master key lock.

Bolted the end of the chain to a bolt on the hood post and wrapped the loose end around the center post connecting the latch and the bottom of the valance.

Then to unlock & lock, reach through the valance openings to access the lock.

As said, keeps honest people honest, but I got tired of replacing the battery every two-three months.
