Re: How To~ Forward Tilt Your Hood.
First step is to remove your front tires and inner fenders for access. Then remove your hood hinges and hood latch. Now is one of the most important parts, make sure your fender, hood, cowl, grill are all aligned how you want it to be when you are finished. Their will be adjustment in the new set up but not alot so you want to be real close before starting. Now measure inbetween your front fenders right at the radiator support you should have right about 66". This is what you will need to widen the hinge assembly to. You will do this one of two ways.
1) cut the tube in the center between hinges and add a pieces as needed to widen.
2) I got two full assemblys and just off set cut both of them so all I had to do was add a inner splice to tie them together. I only did this because I did not have a piece to splice the larger gap in option 1.
Make sure the two hinges are lined up before welding them back together.
Pic 2 is measured from the plate that the tube is welded to to the same spot on the other side.
Pic 3 is over all assembly width from were the two sides touch the fenders.
