HIT YOUR HEAD WITH THE HOOD SAFETY LATCH, HOOK or whatever it calls... I don't think somebody has been safe of that

[Ghoste]

For sure Nacho, I think the back of my head has taken on the shape of that thing.

[terrible one]

Trying to reach further back than possible from the front of the car while trying to keep your weight off of that plastic grill and the support!

being able to sit inside the engine compartment while putting it back together  and just wondering how many bodies can fit in the trunk

The time that happen to me,I look at it and said "Ya know,I'm not the top of the grill area ya know! ".

[Brock Samson]

 Yeah I actually have a perminate divot or crater in my forehead from doing that a couple of times...  I think two    or three times  is about all it takes, if your a dumbass like me..

  yep    had my charger 20 years & still bash the top of my head some times 

[TheGhost]

I'm gonna have to go with finishing the work, and finally driving the car again that's my favorite part.

Never once hit my head on the latch, but I've never owned a B body, either.

How about leaning over the carb when it backfires in your face, losing most of your facial hair.

Yup, plenty of scars and scrapes on my head still to prove it.

funnest part for me is when that first moment when you pop the hood and see the motor....I love it.

I wish I could hit my head on my Chargers hood....then I know I was done. Now this 70 Cutlass is even worse. This F-ing tooth is rediculous.....lots of head scars over the 15 years I have had it. In 71 they put the tooth in the grille where it belongs.

banging your head on the secondary hood catch and getting those two red cuts on your skull

[BROCK]

Accidently touching the positive battery post with the dipstick before it's fully out of the tube & blowing
the valvecovers off

Ran much better with a non leaky fuelpump & new valve covers.  Oil was clean as new thereafter

being able to sit inside the engine compartment while putting it back together  and just wondering how many bodies can fit in the trunk 

Four, Five if you push real hard, Six if they arent real big bodies.   Oh, you werent serious, sorry I have just had practical knowledge of this to shar... Ok, forget everything I just said act like nothing ever happened.  And if the cops ask, you know nothing! 

By the way the back of my head has a dent that looks alot like the latch as well.  First time I did it my dad thought I was trying to kill something with all the cursing and wrench throwing that followed. 

[1969chargerrtse]

I was installing my battery and leaning on the front fender, when I heard a pop as the fender buckled inward.  I thought I was gonna cry.  Thank God there is no mark.

  that's an issue that requires either it's own catagory or a seperate thread.. 

[Nacho-RT74]

doens't happen on lot of cars too ? dunno how is the safety latch on other cars

[MoparManJim]

One other thing as while, Try having the hood up on a charger and a gust of wind come threw! The hood being as big as it is, does come down alillte hard and if you tilted over the fender or the front off to the side that hood can really make a man not like it very much!

Cut a hole in a Tennis Ball and put it on the hood latch when you pull the hood....
