Tilt hood
Saturday, October 27, 2007 7:51 AM
I'm Looking for the hinge or pictures of how to pull the tilt hood trick off. I've seen the instruction kit on ebay but, it looks like a rip off. I'm really looking to do the full front end tilt i sure i requires the same hinge just mold the fenders and hood together. Just wanted some one to lead on the path to the hinge or what i might need to do this.


Heres what im looking to do..




This hinge looks like what the late model buick used.

ok well that does helps. just got to find where i can get them hinges is the hard part i guess. I would think that all you needed to do is mold the hood and fenders and bumper all together , then the whole front will tilt... Just a guess.

well you would have to mold them together very well because you couldnt have brakets on the fenders to hold them steady. all the brakets would have to be shaved off for them to go up. check out local junkyards to find the hinges.
