Greets.
When placing one (1) side of the hood (bonnet) in the up
position and resting it on the top of the tool box, it tends
to scratch/chip the paint. And, is at high risk to fall
and scar the new paint/chrome. What device/gizmo do ya'll use
to prevent this accident waiting to happen....
This fall factor is especially risky, when both side are up !!!
I saw a pix recently of a block of wood being used, but it only
showed a tiny portion of the length.
I expect this is a common issue & the many car-showers will offer
their favorite trick.
Spare me the angst & scars, pls.

I think the "Bonnet Holder by Mark Stolzenburg" looks like an
interesting way to go. I think I will make one today.

Go to the mg-tabc website and click on the Technology section found on the
left hand side of the home page. Once the Technology page opens page down to
the Chassis/Body section and click on Bonnet Holder (Mark Stolzenburg). I
think you will find what you are looking. BTW, the sites web-masters, Walter
and Jim have done a fabulous job putting helpful technical info on the site.
I always try to check that first before I start any project on the TC.
