Hood Removal
I'm stripping the paint from the cab using a Twisted Wire Cup Brush on a side grinder. I have the top back and sides done. In order to get to the cowl area I needed to remove the hood, but the hood seemed a bit heavy and bulky to do by myself.
I ended up looping a tie-down strap through the hood snout and the hook on my engine hoist and putting this in slight lift/tension. Then I removed the bolts between the hood and the hinge, and then lifted the back end of the hood while swinging it forward. This worked fairly well and I was able to stand the hood up on its back edge for storage while I'm working on other areas.
Also pulled off the bumper, grill, and grill surround.
Next, back to paint stripping and a couple more rust repair areas that I've uncovered while stripping paint.
