thing to say on this list!

<< My buddy Chuck has done this with his vintage race '68 Sprite. It is not
 hinged but removeable as a unit. The hood can also be removed separately
 with the font section on or off the car. Having helped removed and install
 it on several occasions, I find it surprisingly rigid and actually not that
 heavy. Adding hinges would not be that complicated.
 
 The modifications (as I remember them) are:
 
 * Hood pins at the firewall, close to the inner fender edge (probably where
 the hinge pockets used to be). A bracket extends from the fender to fit
 over this pin. >>
