Re: How To~ Forward Tilt Your Hood.

Next is the suport structure for the hinge and hood slider to bolt to. I used 2x2x1/8" angle for this step end each piece is 39 1/4" long. They will be 62" apart from each other and equal front to back. This measurment is from out side to out side like shown in pics 2&3. Pic1 shows the angle after I cut it to follow the hood lines. I made a paper templet of the hood shape and transfered it to the angle iron. You will use both rear hole's for the stock hinge to bolt this brace into. The front of the brace will get welded at a later step. Pic4 shows how the end of the brace is lined up with the end of the hood structure. The front of the brace is tight against the front hood structure as seen in pic1.
