i locate the hood on the car.
then i raise it into the open position and secure with the prop rod.
it stays in place while i locate the hinge and start the capscrews.
i can take it off and put it on, by myself, and in a few minutes.
i would expect the tr6 to be the same.
i have been doing it this way since 1969.
