Q: What are those little things on the hood of custom cars?
Well I was watching this show on tv where they make junk cars into custom show cars and on the hood are these little circles with strings or wires going into the engine. I was just curious to find out what these are? Can anyone help?

A: It sounds like you are describing hood pins – the pins attach to the radiator support and go through the hood where small clevis or circle retaining pins are inserted through the hood pins to assure that the hood cannot be opened unless the retaining pins are removed.

Q: what insurance is best for insuring custom cars that are at car shows?
I am planning to customize my car for show use. I was wanting to know which insurance was the best for this type of car?

A: I like Haggarty best, BUT, in order to qualify for that type of policy, you have to meet strict requirements – like, the car can’t be regularly driven by you, you must have at least one other car in the household for every operator, you must put less than 5,000 miles a year on the car, you must keep it in a locked garage, you must be over 26. And, of course, you must have a valid appraisal to establish the agreed value.

DO NOT buy “stated value” coverage. It’s worse than actual cash value. You want “agreed value” coverage. Your agent can explain the difference – and if they can’t, then you need an agent that knows the difference.

Q: Custom cars and paint from the late 70s?
Can anyone please lead me to sources of any kind about custom body kits, body work, or paintjobs from the late 70s. I had a book about it but I guess it got ruined when the roof leaked in the attic. I’d love to see the wide body kits and crazy paint jobs again, because I’d like to restore my 78 Camaro soon.

A: Dream it – Sketch it – Take the sketches to the body shop!

Q: How do you make custom die-cast cars?
I was trying to find information on how custom die-cast cars are made. I was hoping to find instructions on how to make these car.

A: There are die-cast kit cars that you put together, with the minorest of tools. The bodies are already painted, they may offer a couple choices of wheel combos … but it’s pretty simple to screw together. Unlike the old die-hard of the plastic model era. Of course, that is where talent really begins to muster, when you apply paint, glue, filing, sanding, etc. Much like the guys who get dirty building their own custom cars, actual size. One place you could check is Hobby People. Hope it helps.
