I will soon finish the engine bay/transmission cleaning & repainting/engine cleaning & repainting.
Then I will decide the style of tilt front end I will use......

This is the current state of (dis)repair.....

This would be my goal...a full front clip (no splits or seams).......(pic by RVZIO).
The clip would slide forward and can be easily removed.....

I just read a "How to make a tilt front clip" article in an old 'vintage' Corvette magazine.

Do you want me to take a picture of it? ...I'd have to look it up?

It's definitely an attention-getter at car shows!

Thanks, Members for reviving an old thread. I can use all the pics available to study the different ways to get to the finished product

Might as well add my pic to the thread…. If someone has the Eckler’s instructions, I’d love to have a copy. Anyway here is my never installed Eckler’s Monza tilt front end. I have the lenses, side fender pieces, and cowl trough closure panels in the house.
