Re: How To~ Forward Tilt Your Hood.

Now we will move onto teh rear hood slider/catch. First thing you will need to do is trim off the extra metal. Trim off the light guage metal that was part of the hood tight to the heavier plate that is the slider/catch. Once this is done hold it up the the hood like in pic1 and you will be amaized how well it fits the hoods shape. Pic2 shows endo placement being flush with the end of the hood brace. Pic3 shows a pic of a side plate I added for reinforcment. The plate is also made out of 2x1/8" steel and is welded to the side of the hood brace flush with the surface that is up against the hood. The other side of the plate is flush with the edge of the slider/catch and all this should fall into place with the body lines of the hood and how well this all fit together. You will do the same for the other sode and all you need to do is make sure the two sides are even with each other and paralel. Pic4 is for referance.
