i found this pic online i wonder if its a pain to work on the truck?
or if its easier

82ccshorty · 10-22-2012, 04:32 PM

I would think easier. Gives more light and its out of the way for head room working towards the rear of the engine

Go all out and make the front clip lift out!

i think that would be to much i think

frog210 · 10-22-2012, 06:47 PM

i dont think a front clip tilt would like right for his application
a tilt hood would look sick

That is freakin sweet looking!!! Man i wish i were rich instead of good lookin

IMHO, flip/tilt hoods went out of style with ZR1 rollpans....

I have one on my 77. I have mixed feelings about it. It was installed by the previous owner. I always get lots of compliments on it at car shows and cruise in's. I don't care for the way it latches open.

Here is a link to a picture of mine.
