Hood is ON TILT! Clearance is a little tight when opening/closing at the rear of the hood and fenders, but it works pretty well. Just have to be careful to not chip the paint. This should be alleviated when I get the rear sliders in. They are designed to raise the hood up a little for clearance, then it kinda 'drops' into place at the end of its travel.

The hood hinge supports are simply 2x2 angle, cut and bent to fit the shape of the hood, bolted in the stock hinge holes at the rear and welded at the front. They will hardly be noticeable with a coat of paint on 'em, and even if you do see 'em they don't look out of place.
