That is too cool! I too like the ending statement, "Is that it?", I kind of said to myself, isn't that enough? I know he really meant is it done so he could stop filming but it was funny.

Pretty slick, just hope you never have a fire in the engine bay that you need to get to quickly!

Sounds like an excuse for an underhood Halon system!

Way cool Keith!

You are going to need a really, really, really good battery because you are going to be demonstrating that hood lift all day!

The sound is off the chart.......as is the hood design. What are the chances you could make available some drawings on the latches you fabbed for this?

That's Incredible!! Great job. Did you engineer the whole thing? Like a couple of the others, I just hope I can get my hood to work at all.

Deja vu!

For all of you guys who forget to latch the hood before pulling out onto the freeway, this is what all the spectators would see (in slow motion)

That is way cool.

Maybe I'll have to take a video of my full front tilt on the 51!

J!
