I set the front end on today for a look see. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me.......don't fit so goota'.

I think I better build the firewall first so I've got somethin' solid to work with.

Gary,are you going to have it mounted "stock" version, or are you going to have it removable?.....TRUST me, its MUCH easier to set it up removable,
a maximum of 4 bolts (or dzus fasteners) at the rear and a clip at the front, and you are done.

My plan is dzus the back and a combo hinge clip front. So I can tilt it or remove it depending on my mood that day.

that front clip would be a royal booger bear to set up for "tilt" function...unless you don't mind your ride height being about 10 inches off the ground.(got to have plenty of clearance for it to roll over and upright)
The hood itself is already separate and can be easily removed at the track, set the fenders up with dzus fasteners and get your son to help take it on and off......its easy to do.

cool vid Gary !! just now saw it.. 2 things come to mind.. i was taught never to man handle the steering gear whilst' not moving. Item #2.quote proz to B.P. : " Will they still read me, Will they still need me, when i'm stuck on page 64 "

It's a one pc. front end. It can be done with the hinges right behind the grill. I'll have to be creative, but I have a plan in my strange little mind. I don't want to always rely on having somebody around to get the front end off so that's why the dual purpose deal. I've done em' before so I'm ready to give it a shot Ann E. Way.

Keep us informed....

Yup, well worth doing, just takes a bit more work. I had the tilt/lift off on my 57 for the same reason. Very handy for me.

any updates?

Hi FHB, Hows things?

Not much to report lately. The sign business is keepin' me hoppin'. With things being the way they are lately, I'm not turning down any jobs. "Make hay while the sun shines" is my motto. Gotta' pay for gas.
