Engine bay restoration.

Did you index the hood before you removed it? How do you know it will lineup with the fenders?

Easy enough with one person once it is on. it takes 2-3 people to put these hoods on.

I used my cherry picker to remove my hood.

Hooked up 2 ratchet straps from each windshield corner then up and over to the hood latch loop

Worked like a charm!

That's cheating. But I'm going to keep that in mind next go round. I have a skid steer and a front end loader at my access

That laugh is so emasculating. Damn.....

You know what I'm not the smoothest skid steer operator. I think maybe the front end loader may be the way for me. Funny video.

 

[mr. fix it]

I take it you haven't seen the front end loader video then have you....

Now that guy knows how to run a skid steer. He isn't dumping dirt on his head.

I always figured I could do it by myself with a chain fall but ended up not having to remove the hood when I R & R'd my engine.

A very good day at the shop. I ran the wiring harness hooking up the various items to it. The big thing for me the fenders and wheel wells. All my gaps between the hood and doors look great no further adjustment needed. s_dancing2:

I sometimes wish my CHP car was a different color, black engine bays do not show off things as nice as gold.

Your car looks awesome!

I did the whole "dog house" on my Windsor with a cherry picker.
