hood latch

[KerryPinkerton <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I got my 73 the hood release cable was broken and
the guy had out a piece of wire on the arm and ran it
through the grill.  Looked tacky but worked.  After I
replaced the cable, I kept the wire but ran it behind
the grill.  Now if it ever breaks, I can reach up
through the gravel pan and grab the wire.
