Man opening forward would be very cool but A LOT of work. Very complicated. Good luck. Look forward to what you come up with.

Awesome build man. I just did a 71 k20 on an extended dodge frame with a cummins. move the engine back and put on a mechanical fan. in the summer i had overheating issues with an electric fan. I need to tear mine apart and move the engine back.

Tilting front clips make it nicer to work on, but make mounting electrical panels an interesting thing. I done a couple on old jeep wagoneers with minimal electrical components that needed mounting. I installed the lower inner part of the fender well to the frame for mounting components and the top section attached to the hood and acted as a cap. Cool build.

Love the build and i'm very impressed with your sheet metal skills, but pleeaase try using a drill bit for making holes instead of the plasma torch! Lol.

Why could a person not use a plasma cutter I mean if you're precise enough you can, but I figured people would probably think that. thanks for the comment anyways!

I would consider having the inner fender wells solid to the core support and firewall, not tilting. Just having the hood and fender assembly do the tilting. This way you can have all the things that will be mounted to the inners without running into clearance issues and it simplifies the tilting portion without the added weight and clearance problems the inners would present. Just a thought, hopefully it helps the process.
