Remove the bolts on the lefthand side,then go around to the righthand side, 
put your head and shoulders under the hood and let it rest on your back. 
Reach around the hood w/ your left arm and put your hand under the back edge 
of the hood.  W/ your right hand tke ou te remaining bolts.  Now grabthe 
front of the hood w/ your right hand and carry it away.  Hard to do w/ a 
Buick hood but ok w/ a little midget hood.
