[Shotimes] Re: hood strut relocation kit for strut tower brace

[Donald Mallinson]

One of the funniest things I ever saw was at a Chevy show a 
few years ago.

The local Corvette club had been placed on the front row 
next to the highway for most "eye" appeal, but they all made 
a big deal of lining up perfect in the same direction and 
with the front hinged hoods all propped up with the factory 
mechanism.

Then a big wind came, and lifted all the hoods so the 
built-in mechanism clicked and down they all came one just 
after another as the blast of wind went down the line.  It 
was as well choreographed as a chorus line!

NO damage that I know of, I don't dislike Vette owners, but 
it was sure funny.
