Default Tilt COE Globe

Can any one give me any tips on hinging a Globe body?? I would like to put stacks and air intake on a frame mount, that will limit my access to the workings of the Globe so I would need to hinge the body to get access.

I have looked for build and did not see any..

I tried to figure it out but gave up. Others just added a hinge to the front of the cab and bolted it to the bumper mount. Or you could make your own hinge like in a hood of a semi. Like a J. It's on my project list as well

Look at how the old mercades and the volvo etc tilt. those kits come with hinges and a holder and the rear peg. the biggest obstical for the globe is no solid rear mounting point due to the removable rear panel. would have to mount it permanently.
