Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice work Keith! Great idea making one single hood hinge rather than 2 individual hinges. Much easier to get it straight I imagine.
Can't wait to see what's next? Mario |

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Great idea Keith but when all is said and done will the hood clear the cab when you tip it forward, that is the object of the J hooks that hold the front of the the hood to the frame. As you raise the hood it moves the hood forward so it will clear the cab with the tails of the hood without hitting it. Ed

I wonder if there is enough room to cut a horizontal J or more like a L slot in the frame mounting plate so from the closed position you could lift then pull the hood forward, then tilt? I'm still a novice in the hobby but after what I've seen on this forum I am sold on a tilt hood and detailed engine bay. Someday.... Mario |

Having said that, I see what you mean about the "J" hinges. That style would be the ticket. Next one, LOL. Quote:
