[Shotimes] hood hinge screw thingy

[Zach Leahy]

Jason,

Don't know if you have found out whether your parts are available, but
you could alwys get by with some self tapping sheet metal screws
through the hinge and into the hood substructure...  that or weld it
in place....

Hell, weld it shut.... and the doors... and take the widows out.... 
Be like Bo and Luke.
