I remember that there were some people at the Forum that were thinking in doing the conversion...

Oliver,
IM Glenn (74-Roadster) I know he was talking about a tilt front end for his car at one point.

Thanks John!!!

But it's too far away and no hardware, so I'll pass. Building the nose isn't too hard, just time and effort. Engineering a hinge assembly, mounts and latches is a much more difficult task. I'd pay $$ for quality hardware since bolt-on stuff would save a lot of time.

As far as I know the hardware isn't made anymore, you'd either have to get lucky on ebay or make it yourself.

In case of my hood.. the hardware needed were 2 frame extentions... and the hood lift...
