I want to do a reverse-tilt hood on my 72' Pickup(forward tilt). Has anyone done this before? What kind of hinges should I use and where should I mount them? I know this is possible, I just dont know how to go about it

If you find out, let me know! I saw it while I was flipping through an old "StreetTrucks " magazine.

Crazy Longhorn's whole front tilts.PrimeredThunder is talking about the hood opening from the rearand tilting forward.Who ever did the tilt hood was having trouble adjusting it to keep the hood from hitting the grill when open.

Lotik has a front flipping hood on his that uses hinges from a late 80's Buick I believe.

I think he is using the buick hood release also.It latches in the back and when released moves forward a little.

Looks cool, but I imagine it's a hassle working on the motor.

In some ways it might be better.It gets rid of those big hinges that are allways in my way.

Maybe a hassle working on the front of the motor but I like it.
