A hood prop attaches to right and left side hoods and engages a receptacle plate attached to a fire wall. The hood prop includes a mounting plate attached to hood latch fasteners at a bottom rear position of each side hood. A mounting plate end of a prop arm is pivotally attached by a friction fit. The friction fit allows the arm to pivot on the rod but retain a position to reduce or eliminate any rattles. The arm includes at least one bend to align a firewall end of the prop arm with a receptacle reaching out from the receptacle plate.
