Sometimes the kit dealers can sell cheaper than you can buy the individual pieces by buying in mass quantities, just not in this case.

FYI - I built mine the same as theirs with parts gathered from the local auto parts store, for under 30 bucks.

"Low tech?" Dont make a hood lift sound like rocket science.

That's exactly what I mean.....hood lift is very low tech. And like you say Chris, their method is cheaper/easier than mine, just purchase the parts and drill a couple holes. I just don't like holes in my Black Betty.
