Chris Julian has a very nice hinge on his car (as well as many other great mods) that allows the body work to tilt forward and away from a fixed splitter.

Who else wants a set of these hinges besides me?

I e-mailed him about them ages ago, didn't hear back frown .
Still interested though.

if you traject a line from where the two bars theoretically intersect this will be the point at which the front will hynge about. cant be two hard to trial a few bits using some aluminum strap and prototype something.

then once you have the dimensions sorted make it out of something more robust as it will see some decent load at speed and they will need to be strong

I noticed a Viper with a hood that open back to front. Not sure if all Vipers have reverse opening hoods. I searched for Viper hinges and found this video. I don't think this hinge is made for a Viper but take a look. Nice hinge.

Very nice. Thanks for researching that. I'm interested. Did GTWayne's car have something similiar concept from SS?

ive got a feeling that the rear hinge is for the diffuser, so it just pushes down so he can open the rear clip in the usual way?????
