Question A Question on hood hindges?

I have a 54 and about 6 yrs ago I aquired a '50 buick hood. Remember the hoods that clamshelled open from each side. There are hood release pull cables inside.I have a Tri-power set up I'm going to put on and I thought it would look good with the hood opening sideways, what do you think. I have the hood to cut anchor post assembly out of and the flip hindges. Kurt G.

Buick hoods 1942/52 opened that way. Pulling both handles allowed the hood to be removed. Packard also offered this same system: 1941/50.

Go for it; you can start a trend if it works well.
I like the idea myself.

Make sure to take good measurements so the when the rest of us try it, we don't all make the same mistakes. Another words you work out the bugs

Go For It !

The worst that can happen is you go back to stock..... If it works, you have something unique and edgy.
