Removing the hood
My front end has some damage and I wanted to drop it off by the body shop and im dragging tomorrow so i wanted to take off the extra weight. I also figured that it would make my car run better. Can anyone tell me how to get it off without being crushed or damaging the hood. Pics and step by step instructions would be GREATLY appreciated. Please no flames and thanks in advance

Unscrew them and have someone help you lift the hood off. It's easy.

THere are a few wires you'll have to unplg for the headlight motors, and the underhood lights, and that should be it.
BTW, mine is an LT1 car, it could be slightly different.
