Ditto with my 56 Plymouth, they be weak so it seems, since the hood has been
opened a zillion times.
For the last 8 years I have carried a nice ole piece of wood lath (3/8 x 1
inches ) about 32 inches long, it sits parellel to the radiator top, just in
front on that nice metal shelf for tools Chrysler has kindly provided. It
does not rattle, and has not strayed in many miles.
It is officiclly stenciled offishul hood prop rod on each side of it, lest
anyone wonder.
Since I do not show my car for judging, for fun only, It is used in shows
when I dispay with hood open. Also, ones' photo display can be made of an
approprite size so it fits on that nice shelf and also contacts the inside at
the hood latch area, which is the most professional looking solution other
than new unobtainable hinges or such.
Works for me!
