Hood wide open

I did a little mod that allows me to latch the hood wide open. For those that haven't noticed there is a depression exactly like the one that has the hole for the hood latch right below it slightly to the right. I used a metal punch and drilled two holes that matched the diameter of each end of the oblong hole in the existing latch hole above. Then I filed the bits between the holes until it was exactly like the hole above. I used a small cylindrical file to remove burrs and ease the edges. Then painted the newly exposed edges with touch up paint. Done.
