Thread: '34 Tudor 3 piece hood... how?

Tweet

This is the "set-up" my previous owner designed... any idea if there is enough of the original set-up left to retro-fit the carolina systems?

I thought you were asking about the side opening type hinge system,your's is a front opening . If you wanted to go to the side system it appears after looking at the pics. that the side system would adapt. I would remove the cobbled up hinge and clean up the radiator and order the Carolina System.

Do you plan on running side panels? Side panels require a 90 degree mounting surface for the bar. Look at the pic. that Carolina shows in their on line catalog and you will see what is involved. I can take a few shots and post if that would help. The bar has to be cut to length and altered to fit the cowl sides (angle cut) and grill shell (bar is thinned down so hood sides fit flush).It took me good while to accomplish but worth it.

Is your hood glass or metal?

With the 2 side system you can run no hood,top only,side only and full hood.
