Re: tilt front

You can do it with a metal front end. The hinge and mounting the radiator from the core support are the hard parts. I made a hinge from two pieces of C channel back to back ][ with a 1" pipe welded to the bottom.I then put it into the frame and after I tack welded it I cut the frame into allowing the whole nose to tilt.I reinforced the core support. Innerfinders are ***** and have to be cut so they clear steering and other issues.Ive seen zues fitting used to hold things together but I made a male/female end caps and then used hood racing pins by the cowl to keep thing shut.
