Default NEW Hotchkis High-Tech Billet Hood Pins



NEW HIGH-TECH HOTCHKIS HOOD PINS


CNC Machined Billet Hood Pins
Perfect for G-Machines & Modern Muscle Cars




Features:
• Lightweight, CNC Machined Aluminum Hood Pin Plate
• Hard Anodized Finish For High Tech Appearance
• Aerospace-style Aluminum Quick Release Pin
• Aluminum Center Pin
• Stainless Steel Hardware included

Benefits:
• High-Tech Appearance
• Universal Design, works on Virtually Every Vehicle
• Quick Release Hood Pin

From the first Shelby Mustangs to the last Hemi-powered ‘Cudas, unclipping a set of hood pins to reveal the engine lurking beneath is a ritual as old as the muscle car itself. As the pro-touring movement continues to push builders to use lighter, more high-tech materials, Hotchkis Performance founder John Hotchkis decided he wanted one-of-a-kind high-tech hood pins for his 1970 Challenger G-Machine. The first set looked so good we decided to put them into production.

Hotchkis Universal Hood Pins add a high-tech look to any muscle car, European sports car, hot rod, import or racecar. CNC machined out of billet aluminum and hard anodized for a unique appearance, each set includes an aerospace aluminum quick release pin, a high-strength aluminum center pin and all the stainless steel hardware necessary for installation. Like all Hotchkis Performance parts, Universal Hood Pins are designed and manufactured in the USA using the best high-quality hardware.

Thanks Marty. We've been a site sponsor for about a year and a half, but haven't posted as much as we probably should. I'm trying to turn that around now.

Mike - they do suck down flush on a flat hood, but the challenger has a convex shape that didn't allow them to pull all the way flat.

Will do Marty. We've got a LOT of new stuff for the 2nd Gen coming out, I'll start a few threads about them in the next few days. We released some cool new stuff for the 1st Gen around January, I'll post that too.

In the meantime here's our new F-Body Fend Brace. They cost $192 and you can get more info on them here.



Hotchkis Fender Braces Improve Handling, Chassis Rigidity & Style


Hotchkis GM F-Body Fender Braces


New High-Tech Aluminum F-Body Fender Braces from Hotchkis



The key to building the perfect Camaro or Firebird G-machine is blending slick European-influenced styling cues with classic American Muscle, a hulking powerplant and a well-sorted chassis. Now you can give your engine bay a little extra eye candy that actually improves handling, thanks to the new Hotchkis Fender Braces for 1st generation GM F-Bodies.

These slick braces bolt between the radiator core support and the fender quickly and easily with basic hand tools, increasing chassis rigidity for maximum performance. Each brace is constructed of strong yet lightweight 1.5” x ¾” aluminum oval tubing machined, mated and tig welded to CNC machined billet ends. Each brace is then polished, coated in a high-quality nickel finish. The brace is reversible and features the Hotchkis logo laser etched on one side, but can be flipped over if you’d rather stick with the smooth nickel finish. High quality stainless steel hardware is included.

Hotchkis Fender Braces are available for the 1967-69 Camaro, Firebird and Trans-Am. Like all Hotchkis Performance products, Hotchkis Fender Braces are designed, built and punished in the USA.
