73-87 forward tilting hood

Has anyone done a forward tilting hood mod to their chevy?.....not a tilt front end, just the hood. I'm wanting to do it to mine. is there a kit or will it have to be made from scratch? I'm looking for some ideas. thanks.

I don't know of a kit, but it has been done. Most guys mod a Buick/Olds forward tilt hood hinge set.

I saw this truck a couple months ago, looked good. I don't have any information on it.

Re: 73-87 forward tilting hood

i like the tilt hoods but imo i think they take away from the engine and bay area but they do look cool
