i've already started and will give the best detail possible.
instead of using photobucket could someone remind me how to post pics on the tread?

You still need to use Photobucket, there's no hosting here.

Paste in the link, highlight it, and hit the Img button above.

Well, you don't need to use Photobucket... you can use any image hosting service that allows external links... personally I use my own webserver...

First thing you need to to do is remove the hood, be sure to have a second pair of hands to help hold the hood so that after you loosen the second side the hood doesn't slide into the windshield, this is the last thing you need.

now you need to remove the hardware from the vehicle. keep them though, we will use them in the conversion later on.

I know this will look kinda neat but won't it make it alot harder to work on the engine? especialy when it comes time to change belts and water pump.

Agree- My wifes car needed a new cam belt.
Its a Fiat 124 spyder with 1800cc motor. DOHC.
PITA to work on the front of the motor. I removed the hood.

If the hood opens reversed, you can mount a beamer on your roof or instead of a rearview mirror and project movies on the hood!

Then you've got your own drive in theatre, except it isn't drive in.

hay I think you have something there. "well officer the kids just wanted to watch a movie."

might go over well at car shows!

I would say you better upgrade to a fiberglass hood. it will make taking it off much easyer.
