Look nice, made well... I was able to cut these down and mount my hood on my 55 Chevy as planned. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because they are a little thin for my liking, but they worked really good with some slight modification. The springs that come with them are nice and heavy duty. I think they will hang in there though!
I used this kit to install dzus fasteners on a 74 Nova. Being these rails were not designed for my car there was some minor modifications needed but it was far simpler than trying to install individual brackets. Powder coating on the rails was superb and the fasteners anodizing was perfect.
The rails are nice but on this 78 Monte Carlo the rear end is hard to get down in the trough and impossible to rivet let alone drill I. Ended up using button heads other than that they’re great I haven’t mounted the hood yet.
Kit is nice, wish the kit included means of attaching the front of the hood. Almost lost hood on first pass not having any. So have to purchase extra before I’m able to make passes with hood on.
I haven’t installed them yet, but I have had nothing but a great experience with every part and every transaction with motion race works. Keep doing what your doing. I genuinely look forward to purchasing and dealing with you all!
It came in a timely fashion with status emails keeping me informed the whole way. I’m sure it will look great when I complete the job. Very impressed with the customer service.
