Shes a beaut! Not all that fond of the de seamed look but hey each to there own. I respect all the work thats gone into that. Hey where did you get the hood pins for it? Could you send me more detailed pics as to how they are set up please? Thanks in advance and welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site

Hi there and cheers )

The pins were bough locally.
I've seen them all over car shops in the UK.

There's just two triangle bits of metal bolted in to the rear corners with the pin bolted through and then a hole drilled in to the bonnet and the top part of the pin screws on.

The front of the bonnet's just two springs with clips also readily available in the UK.

I'll have a look if i can find any links to places on the web where you can get them.

I'll post a couple of closer pics later

Instead of the springs on the front you can also get rubber type ones or leather straps.

Here are links to minispare for the pins and rubber type straps.
can't remember where i got the springy one's from
If minispares have got them then chances are MiniMania in the US has them too, I know it's not Canada but probably be cheaper and easier then the UK
