bensenvill is an unknown quantity at this point
just looking at the angles and space, I just don't see how this is going to work.

alright, its raining so i'll check up on it tomorrow when the rain is over. the hood would only require one hydraulic since it is so light. havent decided where the placements are yet on each model.

nice. the GD model is a lot easier. the GE doesnt have any stable sections to work with. im in the process of developing a bracket that is secured from the headlamp to the washer fluid bottle which is then bolted on to the inner fender as well.

ok. so i got the measurements and it turns out, the hood wont be able to be angeled at its highest setting. its only gonna be the same height as the first height point.
