Inverted hood

[Saved04GT]

I was wondering if there are any kits available to make the hood open the opposite direction or if not how possible would something like this be?

Bic, Mike would be the one to ask this, he did it with in the last couple months. I believe it was completely custom work though, no kit available.

There you go, thanks Jim. Couldn't find it myself.

Search using "BIC". Mike is an artist with metal.

Yeah there isn't any kits for it..and I'm entirely sure getting the hood to close properly is no small task making the hinges yourself.

It is awfully hot on bic's car though :drool:

Yeah I'm not that handy with welding, it looks cool but I think I'll stick with my traditional hood.

Actually, AutoLoc makes reverse hinge kits, but they aren't direct bolt on.

Mikes isn't direct bolt on either, the hinge was from a early to mid 90s Buick Lasabre.

Yeah but with universal kits you still gotta be able to line it up properly.

Well that goes without saying about anything like that. Lambo doors, flip flop trunks, body kits, shoot even SCT hoods.

You said there are no kits avalible, I jut made note taht there were.

If people aren't willing to put a few hours into fitting something then either they pay someone to do it, or dn't do it at all...

BTW Bic, maybe you could get together with this guy and hook him up with a ready to install bracket using your original as a mock up. ;)
