Well the other day i was trying to change it my brake booster on my 81 Bu and couldn't finish because I had to order one because auto zone didn't have one in Stock, so me and Malibootay were looking at the engine in my 79 Bu and decided to take it for a quick spin and with my luck, we forgot to put the pins back on the hood. So you know what happens next. We're going maybe 40mph and my hood flies up breaks off the hinges (hood is fiberglass) and breaks my front windshield. Luckily we don't crash and the hood doesn't hit the rest of my car. So that set me back at least $500 for my dumb mistake.

Had the same thing happen to me last summer. I forgot to shut the hood.It smashed my windshield,ripped right off the hinges,bent both hinges,hit my electric sunroof didn't break it thank god,an the hood ended up in the road behind me, lucky no one was back there.The outside layer of the hood just got scratches the inner structure got f**k up though,Now it's a pin on style hood with no inner support,SO YEA I FELL YOUR PAIN
drove mine to shop and put new starter on it and shamed a late model mustang following to damn close ! btw, I've been screwing with all the lot bought " hot rods " since I completed my build. kinda sizing up till I get my tune 8) .
