Excellent concept and beautifully executed Claude!👍 I like that hood hinge mechanism.😎

Thanks Greg!

I've tried to perfect this kind of hinges, and adapt it to even the most tight of situations. So far, it works well, even under the hood of 30's cars.See pics below.

Very cool hotrod ute, that pearl yellow looks great. Well done Claude. 

Thanks David!

For it to "pop", you need a white basecoat or primer underneath. Otherwise, it's darker.

Sir, I don't know what goes on in that brain of yours, coming up with all these wild ideas, but I like it.

And your ability to bring these ideas to life is amazing.
