Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Even though we've both moded the hinges for the wire gutter welded up....that has to be the slickest hinge yet...I know it's simple but Nate nailed the geometry...my hood closes like new...and without the ugly....in fact I told a buddy the other day even on a stock suspension truck I would be tempted to convert just for the clean!!!......waitin on the gold!!!...lol......jim
