Hood pins??

Ok so I bought the hood pin kit. It even comes with the cables. Now where do I mount them? The core support is not hollow on the bottom so where do I drill the holes to put the pins. A picture would be nice. I dont want to join the DAN SLY fiberglass hood meets windshield club!!:eek: At this rate I should have my car done by next summer.
 
i drilled a hole about an inch in from each bumper stop. then on the side of that frame closest to the engine, i drilled a hole on the side to slide the pin through to stand it up.
 
This is an old picture of my engine compartment. I welded a small angle on the front of the radiator bracket. In your case you could bolt a small angle. I wanted my pins to out closer to the front of the hood not way which looks kind of strange. The picture of the pins with hood closed came out a little off when I downsized to load it here.
