I'd like to see your pictures of a locking hood release, especially a cable operated design. I'm looking for something that operates like a modern release: 1) prevents unlocking from the outside and 2) trips the primary latch from inside.

I've seen an aftermarket "inside hood release kit" in the Classic Industries catalog (p/n T9376) that looks like a deadbolt. Looks like it would perform function 1) but not 2).
