Easy Access! What's not to like?
There must be some disadvantages but I've never been able to figure out why this isn't a more popular mod.
I might have to add this to the To Do list.

I love the way the hood folds forward. Seems to make sense. Way easier to work on it. How do you do that?

I have to tell you, I absolutely love it. Was thinking about doing the same thing to mine at one time. An old school buddy of mine had a 1960 Studebaker Hawk that they did a flip front end on. That type of front end would make these fender exit headers I'm making for mine a breeze.

Would definitely be fine for offroad but I'd be tempted to make a fiberglass piece to swap out and have it lift over the brushguard.
