Re: My flip front flips... YEAH (JLMvette73)
it's too dark outside, just managed to snap these while bro there held up the hood.
I'll take some on sunday. I do have these 2 where you can see the hinging part, the flat plate bolts to the front frame extension (the extension was severely trimmed down and there are horizontal slots in the hinge part and vertical in the extension so adjustments can be made)

Not bad, Marck.
Did you have to add any extra reinforcements/bracing in the front clip ?

Re: My flip front flips... YEAH (NHvette)
I'm not sure about the support in the front, I really beefed up the section where the hood and clip meet, see the brownish section, that's basically a big u rail. It still twists a bit, lengthwise it's really stiff, just have to do a bit about the stiffness from side to side. The u bar has about 10 holes with threaded inserts on each side to accept a subframe, I'll probably make one and see if I like it or not
