MY HOOD FLEW OFF!!!!!

Mustang92 · 04-05-2001, 09:23 AM

I went through the same thing in my 92 LX a few years back.

After working on my car installing a fuel pump I got rushed to pick up a buddy of mine and rushed out the door. Last thing I did was check fuel pressure under the hood. I set it down without putting my pins back on because I needed to tighten the set screw on the regulator. Well I ran outside hopped in the car and took off.

I got about 100 feet down the road when my hood slammed back at about 20MPH, crushing the cowl, the back of my fiberglass hood and plastic cowl piece. I was so pissed but new it was my fault. Very annoying!
