Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

Beautiful work, Ken. I'm enjoying your build. Your ideas are educational and inspirational.

I have a couple of questions on your hood mechanism. On my coupe, I used 3/4" square tubing and a toolbox latch up underneath for each side. It holds the hood tops (stock model-A with lower edges trimmed) down fine and is invisible when closed, but if I put hood sides on it, I can't access the latches. I see that your mechanism is basically a tube inside a tube. My questions are (1) how do you keep the inner and outer tubes indexed so the holes stay in line and (2) how will you actuate it? Will you have cables that run inside the car somewhere?

Somehow I have been missing your updates Ken, not sure how, but I did. Gotta say WOW!!!!!! Car is really shaping up to be something very special, so many little details to look at. Fascinating thread for sure.
