Post subject:  Tilt hood for 65 cuda

I have a 65 cuda with a 225 slant 6 and was wondering if there is a kit out there that would allow the hood on my cuda to slide forward and tilt forward with the hood on the very front end.
You know like a hot rod or something to that effect. Any leads would be helpfull...
Thanks...

A friend of mine did this to a '64 Falcon. He used the hood hinges off of a late '80's Buick LeSabre.

That would be my approach, get-out the tape measure and go to the wrecking yards for a look at how some of the other makes do this.
No matter how you "slice it", this is going to take some custom metal work.
