Reply to "Front Trunk Warning"

bosswrenchMember

In mid-73, believe it or not, Ford redesigned the Pantera's grille & hood hinges. Instead of studs holding the grille into the body, they welded nuts to the body and used screws. Then if the cable broke, a mechanic simply(?) removed the grille from the front, removed the hood hinge bolts, lifted off the hood and fixed the cable. BTW, I once owned a '58 Ford with the same front-hinged cable-operated type hood, and its cable broke a week after I sold it. The new owner told me that a gas station torched a 1 ft section out of the wheelwell and with flashlights and pry bars, released the hood latch. They advised him to leave the big hole in the inner fender "for next time...."
