Episode Notes

This SEMA-special episode is 7 of 9 episodes we filmed while in Las Vegas at the 2009 SEMA Show. Promoted as an eBay Motors workshop titled “Mastering Installation Videos”, Chris Duke and his MOTORZ TV crew installed a total of nine products over the course of three days, November 3-5 in Vegas.

Even though MOTORZ TV Season 2 ended at the end of September 2009 (Season 3 begins in January 2010), this event gave us some great new content to publish between seasons.

In this episode I show you how to install a really cool product from Classic Design Concepts that replaces the factory hood prop rod with two gas-charged struts. Opening and closing your hood couldn’t be easier with this simple modification! And there’s no drilling as it uses factory bolt locations for installation.
