I had to straighten the hood latch panel to clear the hood to allow my hood to open as well. I have not fine tuned my hinges yet.

AX, the pic is of very awsome 56 that I saw at the annual "all ford " show at the Ford dealer 2 years back. The entire truck is rad and I thought the flipper was real different and I take pics of anything that lifts my skirt. Have not seen again, never found owner. The eng & comp is way big,and crazy too.

I'll be (shamelessly) copying Randy's reverse flip when the time comes. It's OK..... I've talked with his lawyers.

Hey guys , I thought I would touch base and let you know how the flip is going . After I got off to a bad start ( went ahead and started fabbing things up without some base measurements to go by BIG MISTAKE ) . After having to back track abit the front flip part is almost done . Now on to the guide part for the rear rollers . I do want to give a BIG thank you to fatfords .Your diagrams were a big shot in the arm . I used them as a guide and everything worked out well . I did incorporate some different measurements and such because I am using a stock latch panel with a 1978 f250 radiator . But for the most part you were right on the money . I will see if I can get some pics posted sometime in the next few weeks .

Glad everything is coming together. We'd love to see some pics of your progress.
Good Luck,
