The hood prop rod can be used to hold the nose up because ive gone with hood pins

The seat is one of Tonys old race seats offered by backdraft.

That is a custom TD car jacking point that backdraft installs to be able to jack up the whole side for tire changes. There is a recepticle welded into the cage that a bar slides in. Also works well for an extension cord lead light if you need to be in there with the tourneau cover on.
