Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope

The only guy I've ever seen build a tilting hood with the real J brackets is Dreamweaver. Everyone else uses regular panio hinge, just like that, and no one seems to have any problems opening their hoods. That looks like it works just fine, and it looks good too!

Yeah, I am going to leave this one the way it is as it opens and closes fine. I arched the btm hood extension like the real 1:1 Petes and it seems to work good. I did make a "J" hook hinge set that works pretty good but I will leave it for the next truck.

Nice job on the hinges. Mike (Dreamweaver) did a great job on the J Pete hinges. I have used the small brass ones from Lowes (I got lazy with that) on all 4 of my Pete builds. I have had no problems either. Keep up the great work!
