Worried about hood flying off, dont be. Wait till next hinge video. Uses stock front locking latch and rear is locked in place. Stay tuned and thanks for watching.
Or make a latch from underneath the core support down to the bumper along horseshoe almost like a barn door but from top to bottom on a track that hides in the bumper but when you close it it looks like fangs
@@paulambriz9489 truth be told, i dont even own those hinges anymore. Traded them to another vanner for a wiper cowl. Watch the end credit for a sneak peak at the new improved and totally safe hood hinge. (Locks in front and rear, will go over it in next video)
It'll look cool at car shows. Truth is, i will hardly ever drive this thing (look at our channel to see the other vehicles we own and youll see why) and besides, i am not even using this design, just wanted to see if I could. Watch video past the end credits and theres a sneak leak of the next hinge design (video coming soon) thanks for watchin.
Great project. I’ve always wondered how the old spring truck hinges would work on a van.
You gotta admit, design 2 is alot better, and simpler. Thanks for watching.
Form over function be damned. That's badass.
If you want a sneak peak at the next hinge video, check out the end credits
@@CrossCountryGarage ooh yeah.
It drops to 90 degress within 10 seconds as well. Completely out of the way if you gotta work on something. Thanks for watching.
I hope you posted the new hinges you did as I've been trying to this to my van
Havent edited the new hinge design video yet but will do soon.
Are you insured by survival
