Forward Tilt Hood

By

Lewis Fabrication Design Inc.

This mod has been done before by others but not very musch info has been provided to others who may want to try this so here it is. The front end I did this to is the 67-68 style and the 69-72 is not the same but you should get a good idea of what needs to be done. I started by hitting the wrecking yard to get the needed parts off a late '80's(85-86 was first year)-early 90's Buick Lesabre with the forward tilt hood. I removed the front hinge assembly (you need torques allens for this) as well as the rear fender mounted slider and the rear hood slider. Every thing unbolts except the rear hood slider, that I had to use a hammer and chissel to remove.
