Never mind Jim. got to be hidden. Although not sure they are really needed.
 
Kim,
If you or If anyone would like to fabricate their own tilt forward bugeye hood PM me and I’ll send you measured drawings with instructions to build your own!!
 
Can't imagine where you found that.. :confuse:
 
Is that you?

I never claimed to have designed it. However, it was provided to me with his permission to publicize it years ago and has been available there for a very long time. This has been on my web site for at least 12 years and and pretty much anyone who has a copy got if from my site.

You'll see the very same file there, with full credit to him,

I noticed on the David Hill sheet that you could do a forward tilt with bumper mounted?

Correct... works either with or without.
 
I have ntoiced that the 1500 has these big old thick frames that were for the rubber bumpers. I wonder if there will be a difference there? Thanks all of you for all the info. How did I ever survive without 2 midgets before? BTW I have some parts that I cannot use. Looks like a heater and some other stuff for a B and then a heater and blower for an older square body or bugeye. I will post them when I get things even close to organized in the basement. Right now it looks like Chernobyl.
