How to do this to my hood?
Wednesday, February 09, 2005 10:40 PM
ok i remember it being up a while back but i searched and searched and i can not find it... i have the exact same hood.. and soon to be the exact same front bumper... i am wondering if any one knows how he did this? or if the owner of the car reads this and doesn't mind sharing his secret i would love to know.. what hinges did he use? for some reason i remember some one saying BMW hinges.. but from what one and how did you mount them to the hood? and where did you mount the hinges in the engine bay? and did you have to drill into the hood? or any where in the engine bay?

I like that a lot, Its different, I haven't seen many people at shows with that on a cav. Is it a certain year buick that has the hinges or any year buick will work?

i dunno i think its kinda a bad mod
go with a split hood on a lift instead
that splits down the middle or soemthing
so you can still access your engine cus otherwise i mean thats no good unless your car is show only

Make it like old cars where each half opens at the center of the engine bay

all i have to say is i've always loved the hoods like that. I do like the trunk, looks sweet but like said above the trunk does seem useless. I really do like those wheels.
