Working hood hinge for Hudson Hornet

[Theo]

Hi all,

Anyone managed to make a working hood hinge for the Moebius 53 Hudson Hornet?  I have made many door and hood hinges, but can't seem to figure out out to get one on the Hornet given the relatively tight underhood space and the style of the mold. Would really like to do a front tilt/suicide style hood, but at this point just interested to see any examples of any working hoods for this kit.

Thanks for any suggestions

Theo

Somewhere, someone here (Mr. Obsessive? Bill Geary) showed how he made the hinges. But here's an early discussion -- scroll toward the bottom.

 

There are two sets of hinges -- spring versions at the firewall and the folding ones with round springs that you can see in the link.
