Truck is looking great! Can you give some more information on your tilt hood? What parts did you use? How long did it take to get installed? I want to do something like that on my son's truck. Thanks,

Rob

But do you mind sharing how you did the hood hinges? I looked back in the thread and couldn't find and detail on them.

Thanks!
