There is a small latch right under the hood...Just slip your fingers in,
around the middle, and slide it.
Better explanation here

Also, one thread is enough.

yes i know that, but when i pull the releas, the hood dose not open at all,
so what i did was rednecked the cable so its out when i try opening the
hood, but it seems like its still locked

start breaking your front end apart.

how, most of the screws are under the hood, so i'd have to open the hood
(which won't open), but i don't want to break/replace the front

I am assuming you have opened the hood before, does the cable feel the same
when you pull it? Some times it helps if you push down on the hood when you
pull the cable. How hard have you tried lifting the hood?

using a "wonder bar" its kinda like a bry bar but skinner

anyother ways let me know, please!

alright you guys i have the hood open, found out that the release cable its
too long, and it wasn't letting it unlock, but now that i have a battery in
it, it turns but it won't actually start, its geting fuel in the
carberator, i personally think its not geting a spark but i'm not too shur,
if you guys come up with other possiblilitys please let me know
