Forgot you need to pull the hood brackets, if they were lined up correctly drill 1/8" pilot holes before removal so it goes back the same. Two or three people can lift the whole "dog house" off. Also makes all the lower engine stuff easier to fab or work on. Tape the exposed painted edges with blue tape for protection. Also some wiring connectors at fire wall and head/turnsignals to disconnect.

I like this idea the best of all the easy fixes.
