Front Trunk Warning

fordgtMember

It turns out that the best money I spent on the restoration of my 74 was the 30.00 or so I spent on the emergency front hood release cable. It is an easy (except for climbing up under the dash) 1/2 hour job that could save you a MAJOR headache if the main cable breaks like mine did yesterday. This was a modification done by Ford but I don't think most cars got it. I have never noticed one at the shows. After seeing the cable sent by one of the vendors I saw that it could be made much cheaper by purchasing a length of metal fishing leader and some cable stops (probably about $5 worth of material).
By the way, how the heck would you ever get into the trunk if the cable broke and there was no emergency release?
