HandyAndy, Thanks for the post. I did the same thing with great results. A very slick trick.
Is that a new hinge I seen in the left hand corner of the picture. I'm just wondering how to best approach the hood hinges. I think mine are in good shape, but that is what I thought about my door hinges until I rebuilt them and discovered what a difference a rebuilt door hinge makes.
