is anyone here familiar with this car? and/or have any idea how they attached the pins to the body/frame? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Don’t know the car, but it’s the standard method of securing the lightweight glass bonnets on the Group 4 cars: https://wallup.net/1978-ferrari-308-gtb-group-4-michelotto-classic-supercar-supercars-race-racing-fd/ …not to mention many other types of racing/high-performance vehicles. And the car you’ve pictured looks like a glass car. Could also be an owner that simply wanted to do away with the cable latching mechanism. - Dave
To upset Ferrari sobs? In a similar way, I'm proud to to stick two fingers up to the "perfect paint / low mileage" Ferrari people, with my '89 328 GTS that has 95,000 miles on the clock and anything but perfect paint. (The paint's okay, but she's had a few areas repainted over the years, and she has a few stone chips hear and there. She's a driver's car as Enzo Ferrari intended his cars to be - Not an investment only garage Queen! )
That is a Euro early car from the rear bumper lighting, probably 'glass. It does beg the question, as to "why" as the hood isn't inclined to lift from the rear edge.. Shrugs shoulders......
Well mines because it’s a early lid with no hardware or latching mechanism, it’s on there so when I go over train tracks fast, the cocaine doesn’t jump out
