I was thinking about a tilt hood and grill on my 33 chevy. I saw guy at a show do this on a 33 Ford and thought the guy said it was a Volvo hinge that pulls the hood forward as well as tilting up. Any truth to this story or ideas on how this is done

Life is what happens while your making other plans.

Check out Tri-C Engineering which is the manufacturer of the kind of tilt hood you are looking for:

Don't remember the year for certain, but some late model Buicks, I think Park Aves. have that type hinge also.
Good Luck

I threw it away yesterday, now I have to go buy one

If you can't beat em, arrange to have them beaten.

I had an '89 buick park avenue that did that.

Lots of the Buick/ Olds hoods tilt forward. Atleast the 85-91 Park Avenues and Lesabres did, probably Olds 88 and 98 too. Don't know how adaptable they would be to tilt a streetrod hood/grill assembly though. Just have to measure and try.
