dawagarage is an unknown quantity at this point

was working on my 620, did a test drive around the block, realized i needed to give it more throttle, got on main road, forgot hood wasnt fully closed, hood flew open during acceleration.... suuucked man, i can only imagine if i were on the highway.

the metal of a 620's hood is super thin, it tried to fold in half.
when you try to shut it, the deformation wouldnt allow the latch to line back up.
put some of my 550/paracord to use (had to remove hood latch and grill.)
she's all fixed now, though.
