    Hood mod....

    Anyone have the hood tilting forward instead of the standard lift system?
    and if so is it worth the time?

    BTW Im an automotive Painter if anyone has any Qs about paint, prep, and body work

    You might be able to adapt the hinge system from a mid-late 80's Buick LeSabre. They pulled forward then tilted back. It would make working on the engine a pain though...

    Seems like that would get pretty annoying pretty fast if you spend any amount of time under the hood.

    You can probably adapt one from a c3 vette since they stand by themselves also. Or copy the technology and flip yours like it. IDK
