Thread: How Do You Protect A Lift Off Hood?

Tweet

If your in grass use the stand and make some L stakes to push in the ground so it wont move. I too would worry about the club footed people who don't watch where they are going

I don't use a stand for my Willys hood, sounds like an accident waiting to happen to me. I have 3 small rubber blocks bonded to the underside of the hood, one in the front and one in each back corner, I then just lay it flat down.

Steve,
I'm thinking the same, especially considering the prairie winds we have in these parts, especially when a weather front blows in. My hood top has four horizontal pins that fit into latches on the car. Maybe the easy thing to do is just make a couple of nice wood blocks with slots to catch the pins, tall enough to lay it down, supported above the ground a couple of inches. Just have to pick a spot to lay it down where the club footed moron's and the kids of morons won't be walking.
