- Dzus fasteners can be particularly difficult to install. If you’ve ever helped someone take a hood or body panel on and off that was not right you understand the frustration of a mis aligned fastener.
Our sure fire way of installation will make sure you don’t fight that on your new hood, trunk or other body panel. These principles carry over to everything.
For our Dzus rail kits for Fox Body Mustang, Third Gen Camaro, S10, Gbody and more, this information makes the job so easy! These kits can be found at the link below!

I’ve done this before and it’s easier if you use a die grinder and a rotary file (burr bit) to put the Dzeus button holes in the hood.
No need to remove the hood for each fastener and if the pilot hole is slightly off, it allows you to adjust for a small error.
This was an AMAZING TIP! Made the install way easier/faster. Uploading a video of your tip now!

Your and awesome teacher I love tech tip Tuesday keep thanks!
Many pearls in this video, sounds like you’ve learned by doing👍
Hell yeah brother I see that freedom factory shirt your wearing I've already paid for the paper view to watch it I can't wait it's gonna be so rad
Hell Yeah Brother! Can't wait to see it either!
Excellent video, thanks !
Excellent video!
Excellent video...
Thanks for the video.
That's a great idea making the rails black.. nice
Its all in the details!
Doug love the videos. And the freedom factory shirt. What about the thickness of the head of the rivet that holds the springs in. Wouldnt that have to be taken into account as they sit higher than the rest of the rail and the hood would then sit on the rivets?
Been planning on getting some dzus rails for my fox.
Awesome content
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU
Really wish you would have shown doing the front two on the sliding rail. I'm trying to figure out how to do that on a 99-04 mustang.
I am slightly confused unless the company was bought and they changed the name, but in the late 70’s these where called “DUZ” fasteners. 1/4 turn and these popped off a curved spring that held tight. From front ends of school buses to motorcycles fairing, much less the race car circuit where they where designed for. If my wife has not yet found my stash of HotRod magazine, they had articles showing there use.

Making it look easy!
Circle templates from the yard store works great for stuff like that
Being as though you're making the rails you could make another step in the program and have a center line of the hole witness line
Any tips for getting the rivets in to the left and the right of the slots? (Besides removing all of the springs) I'm using a .125 hood, and I can't get the rivet gun in there to install the rivets. The springs are in the way.
Great video. You guys should consider doing this for a living....LOL. Good luck at the Christmas tree race Doug.
good boy in action at minute marker 2:23
Can I put the fuel regulator close to the fuel tank so I just have the feed line go all the way to the front and have a short return line?
Love your boxers. I have had 6 of them
Good job ...
Do you guys offer a universal rail u really need some to put the back window in my 69 firebird
At 2:25 the most wholesome moment happens and nobody knew.
How much weight do you save going from a stock foxbody hood to a pin on hood?
I wonder how much of that sheet metal debris went into the turbo inlet. You could just use another Dzus rail at the back of the hood and cowl. Mount the rail on the cowl side as you did with the fenders and you have a perfect shelf for the back of the hood to rest on
Definitely a good idea. That is just a mockup turbo we used when building our Coyote Turbo Kits, so don't worry. No Turbskis were harmed in the filming of this video lol.
@@MotionRaceworksOfficial yall have a turbo kit that fits an SN95 with a Maximum Motorsports k-member?
Do you have dzus rails to fit 1985 ford ranger
I need some for a second generation camaro
So el torro has already been built once?
If you used proper squeezed rivets on the hood, there is no need for holes to accommodate the stick-out of the pop rivets...
Freedom Factory brother!
What about the nose pieces?
Lol my hood can be a pain to put on. The hood I bought used and I put my tabs on myself.
🤘
If I can ever find a light weight hood for my 65 impala..
about to order these for my fiberglass hood,but I'm curious what stops the rivets from pulling thru the hood?
The Irony is that we are being taught how to install Dzus clips for a hood, while wearing a shirt of a guy who will never use a hood lol
Do the "Webster wobble" lol
Good video, but the flag above the doorway is backwards. Blue field should be on the left.
So now it takes 10x longer to pop the hood
DONT BE INTIMATED GUYS. YOU DONT NEED MICROMETER TO INSTALL. YOU DONT NEED FANCY TOOL, USE ANY SPRING, YOU CAN ADJUST THE SPRINGS WITH NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS......
Looks like everyone likes your dog, and just as important your dog looks like he likes people.
It looks like your American flag is backwards in this video.
made me cringe seeing him drill above the open intake side of that turbo @ 10:38 yikes!
"these ones", really??? Im a country boy and I cant make myself use words like those LOL
