These two photos show the parts required for the project. On the left is the 4" square piece of galvanised 12 gauge steel I used to make each pair of brackets. On the right are all the parts about to be installed on the car. The brackets have been made, their bracing "nuts" are welded on, and they have been powder coated with "little red wagon".

The hood will balance at this position, about 1/3 open. Not that this is useful, but it looks cool!
