Hood latch

[Bullzak_83]

Got a general question for everyone.
Has anyone come up with a way or solution for locking your hood, just to keep the honest ones out.
Would like to be able to lock the hood without having to drill hood pins in.

A PO had run a chain with long, but narrow links thru existing cavities in the hood of the '71 GMC Jimmy, when I bought it. The ends of the chain went down below the bumper and were padlocked.
He lived in Venice, CA. A formerly ''nice'' neighborhood that had become increasingly ''urban'' by the mid-'90s.
The downside was, I don't think he ever checked his oil.
I removed the chain, as my area is not an urban combat zone.
But if I have to park Downtown, and I get paranoid vibes, I disconnect the Negative terminal on the battery. If they can't start it right away, they don't have time to troubleshoot a no-start-gripe.

Here is a link to a DIY remote hood release. He used the assembly from an '88-'94 Chevy full size pickup.

From the pics and description it looks pretty easy to do. Hope this helps.
