Re: Reverse tilt hood

How about the complete nose forward tilt open?
I have seen that on a few different vehicles and it is cool looking.

Old thread ...

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=218253

I knew I had seen it before done different ways. Did a google search using the google search at the top right of the page here. Checked the 67-72 button and did a search of reverse hoods.

Re: Reverse tilt hood

Forward tilt hood also works in the search. I think its a cool mod. Beyond my skill level though.

Re: Reverse tilt hood

I used to follow Rokcrln's builds but i guess i missed this one. Like you it looks more involved than i want to tackle. That method at least.

Re: Reverse tilt hood

I also used http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=218253

as a guide for doing my forward tilt hood. I have approximately 50-60 hours into making open, close and not hit anywhere with even gaps.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1501472622

here is a pic of mine.

as a side note, I am what I consider an advanced fabricator, worked at a paint and body shop, and really don't want to do another forward tilt hood again.

Re: Reverse tilt hood

KW a lot of work went into that one for sure. Very clean install.
