Then I closed the hood and,,,,,great how do I open it now that I can't get to the hood release.

So I came back to the board here and asked around for some help for ideas on a hood release. I did get a couple of ideas but of coarse still wanted something different, so I pulled out the welder and this is what I came up with. You can actually reach under the bumper with your foot and open the hood now. It's good for us guys with bad backs

The truck is ready for paint so of coarse I had to take it off and everything else that comes off when paint is near.
