Well, heres the situation.
We could easily make it a lift off hood, but that wouldn't be feisable
in my case. Immagine having to take the hood off every time you wanted
to check your oil!!
Were thinking about modifying the hinges and front end so that the back
two pins would actually be on the hinges, so that if i need to check
under the hood, I would simply remove the front two pins and pop the
hood release in the cab.
As I said before, it's gonna take some time. Were not engineers.... all
we can do is take our most screwed up ideas and see if they hold water.
