My 80 vette is sometimes drive on the street for short runs but mainly used for track days. Body already has flares.
After getting tired of try to work on the front end leaning over the fenders so I decided to pull the front section of body off the car from firewall forward. Much easier than I expected.
Now I need to figure out how to re-attach with quick release fastners. The back of the hood already has hood pins. I can make the inner fender easy to remove with some bolts. I will weld a bracket to carry the hood indges instead of the inner fender.
I was thinking about using hood pins with one at the front center, two either side where the hood normally bots to the inner fender and two low down on the sides near the side vents. Maybe dzus at top of fender.
Any racers got any input?
