Hello all, I am a disabled combat veteran, retired Army, 30 years, and I am building a resto-mod '67 Coronet street/strip beast.
I have made many mods to this car and am not done yet. Right now I am fitting the 2002 Audi A6 Quattro dash and interior into the Dodge.
I have an issue with the hood though. I sliced away the first 8 inches of the stock hood and made it into a stationary front section and the rest of the hood to tilt open to the front.
I need hinges to tilt this heavy thing forward while missing the rear lip of the front section, think 69 Camaro, and I cant figure out whether I need to go up first and then tilt or straight tilt.
The rear lip of the front section and front lip of the rear section are 3/16 gap, and about 1 1/8th deep. It will be held open by gas lifts.
Suggestions?

Ghostrider, Welcome my brother. Answering your question: I would look into a 1990,s big buick hood release and hinge setup or a Bmw They both work about the same. When you unlock the hood it will raise in the front and slide forward allowing it to be lifted in front and over the the front grill. As a hot rodder you know this will take some modifications to make it work properly. I hope this helped a little. Good luck with your project. Time is free, patience is essential.
