All-steel one Piece front end?
So I'm really bored and that means I start planning my projects for the spring, from the basic upgrades (my new heads, rear suspension), to the more unusual stuff.
One such project has come about in the form of wanting a one-piece (more or less) front end for my 66. I need to remove the inner fenders anyway, and the footwell area is getting slightly modified...so I started thinking. I would really like a fiberglass front end, but I've heard nothing but terrible things about all the options on the market for the 64-66. This made me think about staying all-metal, but doing a tilt or lift-off front. If anyones seen that done, do tell me. The big question is whether or not the weight of those panels/hood alone would make the concept impractically difficult. I can't imagine trying to lift a steel hood off by myself, let alone with fenders and a grill attached.
