Tilt Hood Question
 

I wanna install a tilt hood on my 69. I have heard of using the hinges off of a buick with a tilt hood. Please post some pics and any idea you have that might help me with this install. Thanks.

There are a couple of builds on this site that show almost step by step on how to do it. A gentleman by the name Rokcrln wrote a piece on it just about everything you want to know...the hinges come off of a mid 80s early 90s Buick Lesabre only as far as i can tell... i've looked all overhere (atlanta area) and found zip!

My oldest son has an '89 Buick Park Avenue that has the hinges you want. Yeah, he's still driving it, so you can't have HIS hinges. I got first dibs on those.

Anyway, 87-91 Buick Electra, Park Avenue and '87-92 LeSabre all have the hood that tilts forward from the rear. You pull the hood forward about 6 inches, then grab the rear of the hood and lift it up.
