I think one of the tricks to an all steel front end is to make it slide forward then tilt. It has to go forward about 6 or 8 inches. Something like a very heavy duty drawer slider and mount the hinges to that.

Right you are.
And about 10-15 years ago there was an article in hot rod about a guy who did something similar with a Studebaker. Although he did it totally the right way and used hydraulics. IIRC essentially it was a ram going horizontal and then 2 more in a 45 degree angle that pushed it up. Quite unobtrusive and reliable I believe it was. That's on the list of things to do in the future.
