Who has tilt front ends, and how clean did you make them??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I love a clean job on a tilt, you get the fenders out of the way to work on the engine, and everything else you may need to do under the hood. I've seen some real nice jobs, and some real hatcheted ones.

I like it to where the whole fenders don't tilt, it scratches the paint too dang much. But where the fenders are seperated needs to be done cleanly, and the attachment/hold down needs to be clean.

And finally, is your front end metal, or glass?

How are yours done?

mine is steel,simple but effective. The fenders are split, & have hood pins on the underside fenders to hold it shut. Here are a few shots.... http://community.webshots.com/user/hotrodhorn I have maybe $125 in materials, & it was a winter project. crazyL
