I'd love to see how that would work on a 60/61 snout hood. I've always liked the idea of a forward tilt hood

I'd consider it with a fiberglass hood...but these stock hoods are HEAVY, and forward tilt would make it a wind sail. For a show truck (provided he has a way of included a tilt stop and some sort of locking mechanism) it would be cool...but really effing expensive.

This would be a good option with trucks with no inner fender wells from dropping them.
