Re: Need help with reverse hood hinge fabrication 49

I found my pictures of the forward tilt hood. I didnt do the work, a local guy did, however I am sure he used a buick lesabre (1990, I said 1994 and that was incorrect) for the hinges and an 84-91 bmw for the rollers/tracks.

I think you could probably use the whole thing off the bmw, we used the lesabre because it dropped the hood in front of the grille where the bmw went more vertical (lighter hood). I say this because the BMW attaches in the center very front, where the lesabre attached in the middle and had a bar over the engine when down.

anyway I would still like to see your truck!
