Love the picture of you pinstriping while your child looks on so intensely.
The picture of your truck at a show in bare metal was awesome!
Oh, and last but not least, you made your own cowl induction hood. How neat is that?

Any help you can provide would be appreciated...

Thanks...

the hinges are the factory ones from the hood i took the springs off and used the strongest gas struts i could get as it is all steal and very heavy as for how i open it the license plate is hinged and releases the cover and and have avs door spring poppers to pop it up so i can get my hands under it to lift it. it does not seal the bed floor is all open i do have plans to finish it someday down the road it just rests on an L channel if i could have done it over i would make it seal and would have done something similar to a 50's car with a u shaped channel and weather strip to seal it and also direct the water to a spot to drain
